@matt_ellery Sorry didn't read the post right. #Podcatchers are not very good at replaying only archived episodes without the original RSS feed around.
You may want to take a look at #Audiobookshelf for archive playing.
Oh bugger... Just remembered I have to set up a new podcast app as Google's is going away... I just installed PodKicker Pro (I got it a long time ago) and it now has sponsored feeds - nope... Fuck off with that.
So Podcatchers for Android? Don't mind paying a little for a decent one which doesn't keep trying to add unwanted crap...

I’ve been an Overcast user for a long, long time. When iOS 17 beta became available, I decided to try the built-in podcasts app for the first time since the app used a turtle and rabbit to symbolize output speed.
It was fine. I think it probably does a much better job at show discovery.
It insisted, to a fault, to play its queue, apparently defined by when a show is dropped. If there was a setting to stop this, I might’ve stuck w it
I love #PocketCasts, but they have a low-key passive-aggressive streak for podcasters who skip a day of the schedule.
I cannot get #antennapod to alert on new episodes for the life of me. Anyone have any ideas?
@YurkshireLad Pocket Casts is great. The free tier is all I need to keep up with 90+ podcast feeds. iOS and Android both, from Automattic, makers of WordPress. I also like PlayerFM's discovery features fwiw.
That's an expensive mistake, one that can cost a company all the consumer and supplier subsidies it bought with its shareholders' cash.
It's a mistake that Spotify just made, when it pursued its podcast #exclusivity strategy, blowing more than a billion dollars buying up podcasts and then locking them up inside Spotify's walled garden, unreachable unless you use Spotify's client - other #podcatchers need not apply:

The nice part is that this sort of model allows the user to collect this data and send these notifications on an as-desired basis to the publisher.
