I stopped using Apple Podcasts because 1) they killed connectivity to my iPod; 2) the app is extremely buggy; and 3) the app is totally unusable.

  I only use Apple Podcasts to automatically sync a couple of podcasts onto my Apple Watch. The rest of the time I use Overcast. But that Apple Watch sync feature is a compelling use case.

    I primarily listen to Podcasts on my Mac, been using the default Apple one... which works, but it feels very much like a half baked copy from the iPad app. Sadly no Overcast on Mac, anyone found a good podcast player for Mac? (paid or free) Edit: Little things like pressing left/right arrows does nothing in the app. (just want to skip around the podcast ads). Buggy UI (as I type this, the volume slider in the app is greyed out.. but still works). Also there doesn't appear to be any timer, to stop the podcast after x minutes. (I sure it used to do this)

      There is Overcast on Mac for Apple silicon devices

        There is? wow. (though I'm still rock'n an Intel Mac)

          It's the iPad app but it works well enough on macOS

          Yes; you can install most iPhone/iPad software on Apple Silicon devices, since they more or less share the same core.
