Time to get out of Google Podcasts for anyone that is still using the service.

Anyone have a suggestion for a alternative simple light weight podcast app for android?

Edit: I installed antennapod and it's exactly what I was looking for. Very light weight and even open source. Thank you for all the suggestions.

Pocket casts. Also, you might be able to export your podcast subscriptions from Google Podcasts in opml format.

Antenna pod is great. I switched to it from google podcasts a couple months ago figuring this would happen.

Seconding AntennaPod, it's been my daily driver for years. Open source, good community, continual improvements.

Thirding! (is that a thing?)

I recently noticed it has the option to import/export your subscriptions, which is useful for backups or if the podcast app you're migrating from supports the .opml file format too.

Great suggestion. Thank you both!

Pocket casts, fucking amazing!

I've been using the BeyondPod app. Simple and has a cast feature.

[–] Enfors@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

It's the only one that I've found that has Smart Play. I'm not sure why not all podcast players have this, it's such a great feature. Going back to something without it, would feel like going back to the stone age.

Another +1 for AntenaPod. It's fantastic.

I've been using BeyondPod for years.

Podcast Republic. I don't know if it's the best, but I'm used to it and it does everything I want and nothing I don't want. It's also open source.
