Overcast is my current choice. (For iOS, I don't have Android so can't comment.) I tried them all. I don't particularly like any of them.

I've requested a feature and reported a bug via their Slack. I'm hopeful they'll get added and fixed, respectively.

I still don't have a way to easily binge on some large archives. Like History of Philosophy without any Gaps. https://historyofphilosophy.net

And Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History doesn't sort correctly in any podcast client I've tried, making it even harder to binge.

What I really want is a NetNewsWire (RSS client) that can play audio (directly).

I also want client-side metrics and listening history. To help me remember when I heard something, better determine if I'm actually listening to misc content, etc.

Castro has listening history. But it doesn't handle in-order bingeing of podcasts any better than any other client I've tried.

It's puzzling how no one has done this yet:

- play podcasts in chronological order, keeping x of them downloaded and getting the next one when one is finished.
