Every time I hear that (and I want to check it out), I do so in Pocket Casts, my fav app (first on Android, then on iOS). I know there are probably podcasts that are _only_ on Spotify, but I haven't tripped over one yet.
- andrepd 6y agoOT but AntennaPod is amazing, and open source. I switched from Pocket Casts and it's amazing.
- kevincox 6y agoAntennaPod is unfortunately quite lacking if you like to listen to "story" podcasts where you want to listen old -> new.
- crocodiletears 6y agoI've been a latecomer to the 'history of *' podcast genre. Recently been working through Revolutions. Antennapod lets you sort a podcast's episodes chronologically, reverse-chronologically, alphabetically, etc.
- kevincox 6y agoYes but the auto-download feature doesn't work.
- crocodiletears 6y agoYou may be right on that, I have it disabled so I haven't noticed.
- lucb1e 6y agoOh I thought it was about sorting as well. Frankly, if you spend 30 seconds tapping download on the next 30 episodes every few weeks, that solves the issue? I use Spotify at the moment (thinking of switching back to Antennapod due to Spotify being buggy as fuck) and actually hit download on every episode I want to listen to: putting them in my downloads is the easiest way to both mark them as 'to be listened to' as well as having them available whenever (though that's one of the bugs: I'll still need internet to get permission from Spotify HQ to start playing, but I won't have to load the audio stream and can turn off internet once it's playing). Or you could just grab the files and dump them into a folder for something like smart audiobook player -- that's what I'd do for anything longer than ~6 hours in total, don't want to keep track of that stuff in my podcast player which is for, well, podcasts, not (cut-up) audio books.
- andrepd 6y agoI binge old podcasts regularly. You can sort episodes old->new.
- Causality1 6y agoPodcast Addict is my favorite. Being able to keep different settings for every podcast is nice.
- e40 6y agoPocket Casts has it for some setting, though I don't know if the settings you care about are included.
