Spent a solid hour trying apps to switch to. Found podcast republic which does everything I want with tons of customisation and a one time payment to ditch the ads. Love it.

Been using Podcast Republic forever now. (~7 years)

The developer did so much during the time. It allows you to do so much.

Man, I really did like Google Podcasts.

It was way better than the other podcast apps. And coming from iTunes, it was a smooth transition.

This sucks. Open source your shit, Google, and I promise we’ll keep it going.

What value would oss bring here when it’s the content that matters most? I’m actually really interested to know because I too really liked this app/service.

Podcasts are (generally, Spotify excluded) on an open standard. They’re just RSS feeds. So, the content can be aggregated by anyone. So it’s primarily the UI that will be different between different podcast players.

Sure but the hosting of that content isn’t something a front end can solve.

Google podcast is an awful app (also it was pretty expected that they will kill Google podcasts and replace it with YouTube music since that was hinted in the last few years)
