Look, I know beggars can't be choosers, but with the impending demise of Google podcasts, I'm looking for a new podcast player. I don't understand why RSS readers in 2024 don't turn podcast items into little embedded me player widgets.

I've been happy with Pocket Casts on both Android and iOS. There's also a web player, but I rarely use it these days.

I went from Pocket Casts to open-sourced AntennaPod, and I highly recommend it. It's available on F-Droid.

Pocket Casts is open source. (I know you didn't say otherwise, but there's potential for misunderstanding given the wording.)

Could you describe what it was that made you switch?

[dugite-code]

Not the OP but for me I switched before they went opensource and I was having issues with how Patreon feeds were imported into Pocketcasts. Can't really remember the specifics but if I remember correctly their server was doing some episode caching and it was going all funky.

I stay with Antennapod now because it's very actively maintained and because of the Nextcloud gpodder¹ app and the Nextcloud Repod app². Lets me have a web player and sync entirely within my own infrastructure.
