Good news: you never needed Google Podcasts to begin with. Antenna Pod is a Free Open Source app that won't track your every move and just works.

Doesn't just work for me. When I'm playing a podcast on Android auto, leave the car, come back, there's no way to resume the podcast.

On every other app, there's a little floating icon in the bottom right of the screen that you tap to get to the now playing, so you can resume, but antenna pod doesn't have that.

I am sorry to hear that. I don't personally use Android Auto, so that's a situation I'm not familiar with. I am also sorry to see people downvoting your comment just because you report a bad experience, that doesn't help anyone.

I would recommend opening an issue about it on the project page in GitHub. Another advantage of FOSS apps is that developers are usually easer to reach for feedback and support, although I must say I don't have experience with the AntennaPod developers.
