I’d you’re on Android, you have an app called Android Podcasts. If you’re on an iPhone, I highly recommend the free app Overcast because it’s infinitely better than Apple Podcasts.

What kinda stuff are you interested in? My podcast list is mostly comprised of non-annoying true crime, interesting tech stuff, and the dumbest comedy garbage I’ve ever heard (and I very much love how dumb it is.)

you have an app called android podcasts

Never heard of that. There's Google Podcasts, but Google discontinued it recently. I'd personally recommend AntennaPod, but there's other alternatives as well.

Thank you! I was misinformed. I had the first two android phones but switched to iPhones after my partner got theirs, and because phones stopped having physical keyboards, I hated the way Android typed. It’s better now but with a stock system I’m more into privacy now. I’ll keep AntennaPod in mind for reccos in the future!

Overcast because it’s infinitely better than Apple Podcasts

Hmm interesting, I use Apple Podcasts and have no issues with the app. What does Overcast do better in your opinion?

I loved Apple Podcasts until a few years (maybe almost a decade ago..) when they really wonked up the interface. I tried a couple different applications, but ended up on Overcast. It has a fantastic interface and gosh darn LOUDNESS EQUALIZATION (“Voice Boost”, they calls it) so podcasts that have both quiet and loud parts or aren’t mastered well are actually listenable in like, a car.

I’ve seen Apple podcats recently and it got better! But I still think overcast is vastly superior.
