So I’m in the process of switching from Spotify to Tidal for my music streaming (since Tidal pays artists like three times more than Spotify does). The only problem is, Tidal doesn’t support podcasts, which is another big thing I used Spotify for.
So what are some good apps for podcasts? I listen both on my PC and my Android phone, and I’m not really thrilled about the idea of paying for another subscription (so now I’m making two payments to cover the functionality I got with a single, cheaper payment). I’m cool with paying a one-time up-front fee, though.
Any suggestions?
On Android, I use AntennaPod. Does everything I want from a podcast app and more.
+1 to antenna pod. Been using it now for about a year and it works very well. App has a nice clean UI and it lets me organize podcasts
Agreed - I swapped from Pocketcasts to AntennaPod and have been very happy with it. The UI is excellent, and it works quite well. There’s no sync with a web interface for subscriptions/queue/etc. but it’s great as an android-only option. 10/10, would recommend!
As a side-note, I tried Podverse on Android between Pocketcasts and AntennaPod. It just wasn’t polished enough for me to fully buy in - even though it has great features and the premise of the app’s licensing and features is something I could get behind. For now, AntennaPod is for me!
Since OP wants to listen on PC as well: Antennapod can also sync via gpoddersync and nextcloud.
Works really nice and can be self-hosted if you want to.
Can you do it without self-hosting?
