The death date of is getting nearer, the implementation of podcasts in Youtube Music is surprisingly bad (I don't want them mixed with my music library, as they are completely different). So, what would be good alternative (preferable no extra login requirement) for podcasts in ? Something I can live with, until returning to iPhone and iTunes (not an option at the moment) at some point in the future.

> Only missing feature is "sort by latest first" (at least, didn't find it yet).

You can change the sort order in most screens via the three dots in the top app bar, including based on date.

AntennaPod has been growing for well over a decade, lead by several main developers. With contributions from many, the code structure grew more and more complex. The past three years we spent restructuring code to make our beloved app clean, lean, and ready for the future. All while releasing new features and fixes! Learn more about why we started this endeavour and see the difference for yourself 👇

Omdat Google Podcasts stopt zocht ik onderdak voor mijn 188 abonnementen. Daar had ik best wat voor willen betalen tot ik op Mastodon werd gewezen op @AntennaPod , een open source app voor Android en F-Droid. Omdat het platform gedecentraliseerd is, krijg je geen notificaties maar scant het je kanalen af wanneer je wilt. Dat duurt in mijn geval enkele minuten.
Antennepod leest RSS-feeds, dus kan de vervelende app Luister ook weg. https://antennapod.org/nl/

En in de volgende versie zal het verversen van de feeds als het goed is iets sneller gaan.

Can you recommend a good open source podcasts app for Android? Google Podcasts is shutting down soon, and I don't think I want listen to podcasts on YT Music

Listicles, you know; those quick win articles from publishers who just sum up a few options for task X based on a web search, adding a brief comment on each of the options. AntennaPod was (very) often overlooked. Probably because we weren't included in previous listicles. The quality of those articles isn't great, so we shouldn't take it as a sign of AntennaPod not being worth a mention. Stil, it stung a little. 1/2

@AntennaPod@fosstodon.org avatar

Since @9to5google did some actual investigation into the options and did a proper review of AntennaPod, things seem different. Two weeks after, our app showed up in an article by Android Police (https://www.androidpolice.com/best-alternatives-to-youtube-podcasts) and three weeks later in one from Talk Android (https://www.talkandroid.com/452481-best-android-podcast-app). Seems the tide is turning! Who knows, maybe at some point we'll not even be described as 'the open source alternative' anymore! 2/2

So ein Handy-Umzug kann einen ja schon mal nen ganzen Tag beschäftigen 🙄 Wieso sind jetzt die Podcasts nich mit umgezogen? 🤔

@benni
If you're changing phones and are using AntennaPod on both devices, you'll probably want to ex- & import the database, rather than the OPML file. That way you'll keep all your listening history, playback status, etc, ans you'll only need to re-apply your settings.

We hope so too! We've initiated discussions on a new standard for synchronising your podcast data: https://www.openpodcastapi.org
We hope that all relevant projects will jump on board and help develop and implement this new standard!

Is there a free software alternative to Android Auto? I recently switched @AntennaPod to F-droid and now Google is sulking and pretending it doesn't exist (I've been using OsmAnd for the actual navigation, in case that's relevant)

@AntennaPod ¿Cuándo vamos a poder disfrutar de poner comentarios en los pódcast en la app?

AntennaPod,
@AntennaPod@fosstodon.org avatar

@ircmer
That will probably be a while. The technical standard for making this possible through the fediverse are currently being discussed here: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/discussions/623

When that's more or less settled, we can consider it, among all other much-requested features (e.g multiple queues, keep n newest episodes per podcast).

weirdwriter, to Podcast

Is there an @AntennaPod kind of app for iOS? I love how they engage with Blind users. I tried the app on a friends phone and that app is just perfection from a screen reader POV! I know there is @castropodcasts but I hear they haven't put out accessibility updates, and, I honestly don't think Downcast and similar cut the mustard on iOS.

@AudraTran @weirdwriter
In our case we "can't be bothered" to rewrite our Android-native app for iOS. Unfortunately we don't have any tips for apps.

Utilisant @AntennaPod avec plaisir depuis des années, je me suis dit que c'était le moment de faire un don pour les aider à franchir le cap de la fermeture de Google Podcasts qui leur ramènerait beaucoup d'utilisateurs.

Ils refusent, car "pas besoin".
Vive l' 🔥

We also fully acknowledge the room for improvement regarding discovery & sync.
Combining discovery & privacy is a challenge. Right now we rely on data from Apple Podcasts' API. An improved version based on Podcast Index data is definitely on our wishlist.
Luckily OPML import will get you started!

Is this (MAU graph in the header) what you might be looking for?

Note that that's just via Google Play, and that we can't know about users via F-Droid.

We don't have that yet. Most recent data Google is showing is March 28th – good enough?
What do you want to use it for, if we may ask? Cross-check with/extrapolate data from OP3?

We now have data past the US end of Google Podcasts. Still going up afterwards it seems.

Do you remember from last year? It was a lot of fun thinking about the data we could show and implementing the screens that calculate and display your personal statistics! It's early on in the year, but it's time to start working on this year's Echo. Are you a (hobby) designer or Android developer, and interested in contributing to this cool gimmick? We're looking for you! Chip in on the forum and let us know 👇

@M
We agree, and that's on our list for improvements indeed. This time it'll stay until January 7th!

AntennaPod,
@AntennaPod@fosstodon.org avatar

@M
We did consider but decided against it as it would defeat the purpose of having something special, for everyone at the same time. Basic statistics are available as usual via the Subscriptions screen (using the 📊 button in the top bar).

does anyone else have an issue with @AntennaPod
on @GrapheneOS (Pixel 6a)? AP is constantly stopping (crashing?) after some time (once it's 30 minutes, once it's 5 minutes). It doesn't matter what podcast this is, playback speed, I have no other idea (maybe I've got too long queue? ~350 episodes, 14 GB in total)

Hi @gnarly_parker,

It's done in order to make space for other buttons, as also explained just now on our forum: https://forum.antennapod.org/t/changed-refresh/4325/7

We hope you'll be able to adapt to the situation!
