Any recommendations for a good FOSS podcast app for Android.
I have been using PocketCasts for a long time, but it's been enshitifying for a while now. The most annoying part is the huge amount of ads that are inserted in the podcasts, and I can't even tell if that money goes to the creators or to PocketCasts.
So any good recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I've been using AntennaPod for over a year - moved over from PocketCasts back then - and am very happy with it. I have very simple requirements though, so it might be as full-featured as other options.
Yep I've been a happy Antenna Pod user for years. A double tap of my headphones skips 30s forward, triple 10s back and makes skipping past the ads easy.
This is how I have it set up in pocketcasts as well, it’s a nice setup!
This is pretty much the only one anybody ever recommends, and it is 100% justified.
1000% support. AntennaPod is the best :)
It's a little convoluted to setup at first but once one understands the features you can have it do anything. I have specific podcasts skip the intro. I have ones I enjoy give me a reminder when a new one releases but other's I love will auto download, go to my queue, and auto delete when I finish listening to them.
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out, I don't need super fancy features anyways.
The deal breaker feature I've been waiting for is the ability to play daily podcasts first then serialised podcasts in order. I have this with Podcast Addict and it means I virtually never have to touch the app itself.
Interesting that a solution exists for that scenario. I used to use 2 podcast apps to keep my dailies and serials separate and had to manually go between them.
