    I’ll pour one out for Google Podcasts. I eventually settled on it because it was free, cross-platform, and also kept my podcast life separate from my music library or YouTube views. If you’re a multi-ecosystem home and don’t want your podcast stuff with your music, it really was the best option.

    And I definitely won’t be going to YouTube Music with them. I don’t even want my music habits commingling with my YouTube habit and getting recommendations that are just music videos for months.

          Yeah these apps have been around for +10 years doing everything Google podcasts did with more features. It completely invalidated the point of the Google version for a long while. Pocketcasts is probably the oldest 3rd party app I still use today.

            Pocket Casts was one of the first apps I ever paid for. When they went to a subscription, that purchase more than paid for itself.
