      I don’t understand why you wouldn’t use an app specifically for podcasts with all the necessary functionality already built in.

        Yeah, Spotify is trying to force the same thing with a similarly muddled interface.

        YouTube Music is still worse, though, in that it’s also tied to YouTube the video hosting service, plus a music streaming service, plus a podcast streaming service.

        Personally, it never occurred to me. I had been using Google Podcasts and even before they announced it was EOL, it was getting annoying.

        Spotify was there, had everything, so I used it. They keep putting their prices up and I am ready to leave.

        What podcast app would you recommend?

              It’s going to require a lot of configuration to get it working properly, especially if you want offline downloads.

        Well, I gave one reason. If you don’t understand I don’t know what else to tell you. I don’t do it, not sure why you’re replying to me.
