If anyone is on android, I would like to recommend a podcast player that is in no way affiliated with google, is open-source and good

Antenna pod -- https://antennapod.org/

Google play page -- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.danoeh.ante...

Github -- https://github.com/antennapod/AntennaPod

It uses RSS and open standards, has all of the podcast playing features like 2x speed, sleep timer auto download etc.
