What is Reddit's opinion of Pocket Casts?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Or if anyone is on Android, I really recommend PocketCasts.

The free version is a great podcast app with lots of features (remove silence, variable speed playback, 30s skip, etc.). I listen on my desktop at work and being able to resume podcasts seamlessly from platform to platform works great for like $10/yr.

I currently use Pocketcasts, it is multi-platform but that now costs $10USD a year (I am grandfathered in from before they went to a sub model). It works well and does the job. People have a few gripes (e.g no folders for organizing, they want you to use filters. but it does the job). /r/pocketcasts

There is another multi-platform app which I may swap to (I have an account and it's loaded with a load of my subs but I've not made the full jump across yet) Podurama. They are still showing this on their main page "Early users get lifetime free data sync on unlimited mobile and desktop devices" so I presume it is still applicable. /r/Podurama

There are lots of others out there, but those are the two I have used with any sort of regularity.

Here's some of the one's I listen to that are on Spotify:

• My Dad Wrote A Porno - A funny, lighthearted podcast about a guy who found out his dad writes (poorly written and hilarious) porn novels. He then reads them with his 2 friends.
• Stuff You Should Know - Basically a podcast about... stuff you should know. It has hundreds of hours of content about some pretty interesting topics
  • Short Stuff - The same podcast usually on different topics but shorter
• The Ground Up Show - A fantastic and inspiring podcast with different people every week who talk about life and various other topics.
• Ear Hustle - A really interesting podcast from within San Quentin State Prison in the USA. They talk about a variety of prison topics with a collection of prisoners telling stories.
• Casting Call - 3 differing pilot podcasts go head-to-head to gain the ability to produce a series with Gimlet

I would personally recommend buying Pocket Casts. It's got a much wider range of podcasts. It's also a fantastic app and gives you the ability to speed up/slow down the talking, cut silence and a bunch of other stuff. It also gives you some pretty cool stats of your listening. Here's some that aren't on Spotify but I listen to/am going to listen to:

• The Hamish & Andy podcast - A hilarious Australian comedy duo who previously where on the radio, now do a podcast.
• The Joe Rogan Experience - Joe Rogan (comedian) interviews thousands of people on random topics. A really interesting podcast to listen to for hours.
• The History is Fun - Podcast about the history of fun things...
• Serial - A crime podcast. Haven't really got to listening to this yet.
  • S-Town - I believe this is either the 2nd or 3rd season of Serial. Again, haven't really got to this yet.
• The Teacher's Pet - An Australian true-crime podcast. This got recommended to me, but I haven't got around to listening to it.

I'll answer in reverse order.

• Pocketcasts - I've listened to nearly 200 audio dramas. I use Pocketcasts for all of the podcasts I listen to. I still subscribe to audio dramas that I've finished so I can easily go back and review the shows I liked. Podchaser has lists available so you can sort the shows you like. It works well but I keep forgetting to update it. They plan to integrate it with Pocketcasts but that feature is not yet available. Outdated list: Audio Dramas I Can Recommend

Here are my current top ten audio dramas:

• We're Alive - 143 delicious episodes of zombies. It is the show that got me into audio dramas.
• Wolf 359 - The first 10 episodes are a slog, but after that it turns into an amazing show.
• Earth Break - Excellent writing, sound design, ambiance, and incredible acting. My only complaint is that there are only 6 episodes.
• Bronzeville - Laurence Fishbourne and an all star cast. Fantastic production.
• 1865 - Brilliant acting, well researched, and fantastic sound. I recommend listening to the bonus episodes as well.
• Homecoming - So good it was adapted for TV.
• Tumanbay - I don't like listening to shows in this time period but this show was so good I listened to all four seasons.
• Exeter - All star cast and great audio.
• Malevolent - Once you find out how this show is produced, it makes it even better.
• Max & Ivan: Fugitives - This was very cleverly written. If you are into tech, this one was a treat.

I use Pocket Casts Plus for any management and playback of audio files I own. It has mobile apps, including Android, as well as a browser-based Web app and native desktop apps. It syncs as well as Audible does.

Pocket Casts might be the app you need, based on your requirements

• "Android as well as on PC (Windows, Linux)" - check
• "remembers where i paused and where i left off" - check

A lot of the big podcast apps offer advertising. We have done campaigns on Podcast Addict and Overcast and have seen way better results. The best part is that they actually show you how many subs you get during the campaign.

So far, we've had the best performance with Overcast.

I have used Pocket Casts for years. It's available for both Android and iOS. You can even stream via their web site. It will also coordinate between devices (I recently switched phones) and all of my subscriptions carried over and the podcast I was listening to (Glass Cannon, of course) was queued up at the last place I paused it.

It's been a while since I imported my personal link for the Patreon Glass Cannon Champagne Room link, but as I recall it was simple.

Pocket Casts. Habe viele kostenlose ausprobiert und dann doch die 9(?)€ dafür ausgegeben, ist schön übersichtlich. Für mich wichtig war noch eine Desktop App für Windows.

Download Pocket Casts and sign up with email (free). Get your private link from your Patreon email and go to this browser link. Paste your Patreon link on this page, go to the bottom of the page and it'll link you back to your Pocket Casts app, with a playlist and interface that looks like Spotify.

Required for me, I'm sorry I can't do Ray unless it's 2x speed lol sorry.

iOS podcasts are a mess, the app, the settings, it is not great BUT, they should be playing. Finally, I deleted the Podcasts app and went with PocketCasts. It plays in the background, no problems.

The audio lessons also play through in iOS 15.

I use Pocket Casts at some point it was for pay, but absolutely worth it. It's user friendly and intuitive, you have lots of customization options as well.

it has a paid version that offers sync in between devices.

Try it!

No clue regarding Pocket Casts. I tried submitting my podcast but it "failed" because "Podcast error: Html page found." Whatever that means. There's nothing on Libsyn to push it to Pocket Casts that I'm aware of.

<shrug>!

Pocket Casts has issues with private feeds. Per their instructions, you have to enter your Patreon feed into a submission tool which returns a different URL you must then paste into the app.

Both of these are multiplatform although Pocketcasts has a sub, Podurama may still be free.

Podurama

Pocketcasts has "wrappers" available that act like desktop app

maybe pocketcast plus?

they have a free trial if you're interested. I did the trial and decided not to do a subscription at the moment but may end up back there at some point for the "Upload your files" feature

Pocket Casts hat eine Option, die Lautstärke von Sprache zu boosten. Pocket Casts ist auch sonst in jeder Hinsicht Spotify überlegen, und es bekämpft das Monopol, das Spotify gerade versucht im Podcast-Bereich aufzubauen.

thye are free just ask alexa to play by name. for example "alexa, play planet money"

personally i use a service called pocketcast https://www.pocketcasts.com/ that for $10 a year keeps track of which podcasts i have listened to and supports everything from alexa to having a web site you can listen through

May I suggest pocket casts? Spotify is nice from a one stop place, but they're buying out and walling off some of the best podcasts. Also their interface for podcasts just isn't there yet.

> Næste spørgsmål. Hvilken app har det største udvalg af danske podcasts? Jeg er ret træt af DRs app for eksempel, findes der nogen som har det meste? Jeg ville egentlig helst bare bruge spotify fordi jeg alligevel bruger den til musik men det er nok ikke realistisk? Er der en vej udenom at have 3-5-10 forskellige apps installeret for at kunne høre det hele?

Desværre ikke. Der er nogle podcasts der er låst bag abonnementer. Men hvis du godt kunne tænke dig at undgå, eller ihvertfald kæmpe imod tendensen, hvor podcast verdenen stille og roligt går fra at være leveret via RSS og være decentraliseret som du kan forbruge lige som du har lyst med det software du har lyst, til at være fragmenteret ud i "platforme" som kræver hver deres apps (og abonnementer), så foreslår jeg du finder en podcast app der fungerer som "i gamle dage" og konsekvent lader vær at bruge podimo, spotify, og lignende til podcasts. Når du bruger disse apps, så støtter du nemlig også den videre fragmentering og ødelæggelse af det før så åbne podcast landskab.

Selv synes jeg at Pocket Casts virker super på Android, og Overcast på iOS, og så bruger jeg patreon eller 10er, eller hvad der lige er muligt, til at give økonomisk støtte til de podcasts jeg gerne vil støtte.

I think it's because their service needs a manual input of the rrs feed so that it can prioritize it, once it's in their system it's not toto bad but ya it can be improved, regardless if you have the iTunes or the RRS submit hear and help improve the search:) https://www.pocketcasts.com/submit/

>to access the stored favorites on a profile I can log onto both windows and android.

if this means "cross platform sync" then https://www.pocketcasts.com/

but requires payment of either $1.19/month or $11.99 a year to use the web/desktop player

This worked for me with PocketCasts!

You just search your email for an email from Patreon with the subject "Here are some rewards to go along with your pledge to Kinda Funny", copy the provided the link (make sure to copy exactly, don't right-click and Copy URL), then go to https://www.pocketcasts.com/submit/, de-select Public podcast, paste the Patreon private URL from your email, then use the private link that PocketCasts generates for you to add it to your account.

I use the default messaging app for those people I know dont use other apps, Telegram or Viner for those that use it.

I use PocketCasts for podcasts. If you pay a few dollars they even sync location and up next to their web player (and it syncs across all platforms). Well worth the money for me (I use android, iOS, and the webplayer)

For reddit I use Relay for Reddit. It works nice and the dark theme is great.

I'm an Android guy, which eliminates iTunes as an option, and I currently use Google Podcasts to listen to and manage my podcast subscriptions. (Pocket Casts might be more popular among Redditors, though.)

I don't have anything against Spotify, and your podcast sounds dope, but I don't want to have to download another app and create an account on another service just to listen to one podcast.

Personally, I like the following shows, in no particular order:

• Wheelbarrow Profits Podcast
• Old Capital
• Best Real Estate Investing Advice Ever
• Real Estate News for Investors Podcast with Kathy Fettke
• RealWealth Show Podcast with Kathy Fettke

What I usually do, is load up a few of the podcasts into my preferred iOS app (Pocket Casts) and then scan the episode subject/description and decide if I want to listen to the show. I don't really follow the shows religiously, but rather look for interesting topics.
