I’m looking for a good FOSS podcast app for android. Ideally something from F-Droid, but anywhere works.
Sources don’t matter, just mainly free podcasts is what I’m looming for.
A few F-Droid options like AntennaPod or Pocket Casts (self-hosted instance) offer strong local storage and RSS support without telemetry. Consider whether you need cloud syncing or if a purely local-first approach aligns better with your privacy constraints for podcast consumption.
AntennaPod. It’s available through F-Droid.
The one problem with this app is that it has weird statuses for downloaded episodes, like deletion is separate from removing it from the queue, which I don’t understand. I wish they could just combine these.
This is the one. You can add podcasts through RSS feeds. No accounts, no subscriptions, no nonsense.
+1 for antennapod, its awesome!
Is there a way to skip ads within the podcast? Like sponsor block on YouTube?
No. And the dev(s) have said that they refuse to implement such feature. :(
I have never seen an app as respectful of my data usage as AntennaPod
Antennapod is dope, you can follow your favourites, no sign up, downloads. excellent app!
I self-host podcasts on my server and then play them from a web app my phone. The software on both sides is called AudioBookshelf.
Yeah, AntennaPod for sure
Antennapod is too good
