Time to get out of Google Podcasts for anyone that is still using the service.

Anyone have a suggestion for a alternative simple light weight podcast app for android?
Edit: I installed antennapod and it’s exactly what I was looking for. Very light weight and even open source. Thank you for all the suggestions.
Pocket casts. Also, you might be able to export your podcast subscriptions from Google Podcasts in opml format.
Antenna pod is great. I switched to it from google podcasts a couple months ago figuring this would happen.
Seconding AntennaPod, it’s been my daily driver for years. Open source, good community, continual improvements.
Thirding! (is that a thing?)
I recently noticed it has the option to import/export your subscriptions, which is useful for backups or if the podcast app you’re migrating from supports the .opml file format too.
Great suggestion. Thank you both!

This was my favorite but I thought it shut down
No, they got acquired by Automatic (AKA that Wordpress company). They’re still plugging along though.
I recently stopped using this. I prefer paying for things so I know they will be taken care of, but their price increases came without any improvements to the service for a while. If you are okay with paying though, it’s pretty good.
AntennaPod is free and has worked well for me so far as a replacement. It isn’t as intuitive with its discovery feature, but it works well enough.
Pocket casts, fucking amazing!
I’ve been using the BeyondPod app. Simple and has a cast feature.
It’s the only one that I’ve found that has Smart Play. I’m not sure why not all podcast players have this, it’s such a great feature. Going back to something without it, would feel like going back to the stone age.
Another +1 for AntenaPod. It’s fantastic.

Podcast Republic. I don’t know if it’s the best, but I’m used to it and it does everything I want and nothing I don’t want. It’s also open source.
