AntennaPod (Easy-to-use, flexible and open-source podcast manager and player) https://f-droid.org/packages/de.danoeh.antennapod/
edit: just now trying the app. Really awesome, better than the thing I'm currently using. Thanks for the suggestion!
Does this have advantages over Apple Podcasts?
Open source, lots of features, self hosted sync. If you're happy in the apple ecosystem its probably not for you, their system works well. But if you aren't knee deep in apple already or just want complete control of your data its pretty dope.
Most, if not all podcasts are just an rss feed to a url. The application consumes that xml and delivers it to you as icons for you to listen to.
Man I really miss the days when rss was popular. Then Google killed Google reader, as they do....
This is like 5x better than google podcasts. Goddamn. It actually works in maps, isnt glitching, and i like the UI more. Awesome.
Do you have to download them manually, or is at simple as giving it a link? Audiobookshelf has podcasts but I have to figure out how to manually download and organize them.
I use it daily. The only thing I miss is casting to other speakers around my home.
The Google Play version of AntennaPod has Cast enable, FDroid version didn't the last time I checked.
Oh I didn't even check for a play store version, thanks for the heads up!
