AntennaPod is open source and pretty good if you’re on Android. Podcast Addict isn’t open source (I don’t think) and it’s not as pretty but it’ll be the most powerful podcast app you ever use.
Pocketcasts is definitely a better overall app experience, however, that still didn’t stop me from switching to AntennaPod well over a year ago. It’s a solid app and one of the best FOSS app projects around.
No regrets. I just wish I could manually sort podcasts on the subscription page.
Interestingly, it turns out Pocket Casts is also open source (thanks [email protected]). I’m not sure the added features from Plus are available from other apps at the moment?
Man, I wonder why nobody has forked this already? It seems like a really easy way to get a new podcast app up and running. PocketCasts is widely loved, it’s just the business practices and lack of features that have put people off.

AntennaPod is the best. I have 1432 hours on it since 2018.

Giving this a go now. Thanks.
I mean Pocket Casts is already open source. If they end support for it, you can just fork it.

You know, I hadn’t even realized this. That’s great. Here’s their GitHub!

A shame it’s no longer owned by NPR
NPR actually lost a lot of money on that deal
One of the reasons I switched podcast apps, it was switching hands so much didn’t know where it was going to end up.
Yeah, this seems like a steep increase. I can’t imagine they’re expecting many folks to actually pay this amount.
I like podcast republic. Lots of control.
