Today on: "What did Google decide to kill?"

[-] plz1@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Overcast is superior to both. And I used to pay for YouTube Music…

[-] Klystron@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Overcast is iPhone only? You were using Google podcasts on your iPhone?

What the fuck. I use both apps, but podcasts doesn't blow at life when it comes to actual podcasts.

Any recommendations for android? I know there's pocket casts but I'm not paying a subscription for a podcast app. All I need it to do is literally find the podcast then click play. I'm not really sure what there even is to innovate on for apps to charge you.

pocket cast is free to use, no?

[-] shortypig@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I don't pay for pocket cast.

[-] ratofkryll@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Is it subscription now? I paid like $3 for it once ten years ago.

Okay, in the meantime, how do I export my subscriptions from Google Podcasts?

[-] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Last I checked, Google does not have that feature. There's an open-source project to extract them for you, though: https://github.com/lucasrangit/google-podcasts-export-opml

I started hunting for a new podcast platform when Stitcher announced they were shutting down earlier this year, and I settled on Podurama. It's the only one I can use on any platform, including desktop Linux (via the web version, which is actually quite good). I can subscribe to private feeds (e.g. from Patreon subscriptions), it syncs play history in my account, and it allows me to mark episodes played in bulk so manually porting over my listening history was not as big an ordeal as in other apps/platforms.

I'm using it for free, though they do offer a paid version with some very minimal additional features.

Edit: I would much prefer an open-source solution, but I have yet to find one that works across platforms and syncs between all devices. Open to suggestions if I missed anything good. At minimum I need an Android client and web client (or if they actually make apps for Mac/Windows/Linux/Android and somehow don't have a web client, that's fine too, but that seems unlikely).

Fucking again... I really let it happen to myself this time...

[-] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Another one for the pile

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I can only recommend pocket casts! But I'm aware of the fact that they've moved to a subscription model since I purchased the app, and I can only give that recommendation based on my purchase which included full features for life (a deal which has thus far been honored). If the sub is worth is might be another question for someone who has it.

[-] Matt@lemdro.id 5 points 1 year ago

I started using Pocket Casts last year when it was $10 per year. This year they first raised it to $15 per year, and now it is $40 per year. That is too much in my opinion. I've had enough with services that nearly always get worse, so I am now using AntennaPod. It is a free open source Android app that doesn't need accounts or subscriptions.
