What do you use for listening to podcasts? (feddit.online)

I use Funkwhale for my music collection and had my podcasts in there for a while. However, I ended up not listening to my podcasts very much since they were hidden among my much larger music collection.

So I moved my podcasts feeds to FreshRSS, which I was already using for RSS feeds. I like the simplicity of using something that I already had, but it doesn't have any podcast-specific features like being able to resume where you left off.

Do you have any podcast listening apps that you like?

*edit: I should add that I originally meant "self-hostable applications for storing your podcast subscriptions," but these phone app recommendations are great to have, too. I might just ditch the server-side of this entirely and just use a separate app on my devices for listening. It would be nice if I only had to subscribe in one place and be able to pick up where I left off across multiple devices, though.

There seems to be a lot of fun checking out Podcast apps, but I couldn’t find a lot of these on iOS App Store sigh

I'm guessing that most iPhone users just use Apple Podcasts, and Apple themselves probably want it that way. (E.g. less promotion of third-party podcast apps on the app store.)

I just download the mp3 and play it with mplayer. Don't need no apps.

feedbin, I just use the web app on my phone/laptop

I don't understand the point of self hosting for podcasts. The whole point of podcasts is being able to stream or download them directly from the source.

Until someone makes a self-hosted podcast caching server that can strip the embedded ads using AI, I'll have no idea why people do it.

You asked for a podcast client, so here's AntennaPod.

I have it on auto backup and share the backup with all my other devices over Syncthing.

No need to self-host anything.

I used to use Airsonic. Suporte auto downloads of podcast episodes.

It worked for me as I mostly listens to music and 1 or 2 podcasts once and a while. Not listened to podcast for a while so might use just Antenna Pod.

I have also moved on from Airsonic to LMS (Lightweight Music Server) and use Ultrasonic on mobile.
