I'll start by plugging Harvard's free courses catalog as well as Udemy

Edit: Gonna add 2 more I remembered-

Blender - I wish I had more time to learn it, but I did start the infamous "Donut Tutorial" once!

Watch Cartoons Online - Lots of good older stuff!

Let me be perfectly honest: If you like AntennaPod, just stick with it, OK? You'll save a lot of frustrations and headaches.

I used to use AntennaPod and listened to lots of podcasts.

Then one podcast host mentioned some other app, I tried it, and liked its Web interface, even when it didn't have all of the AntennaPod features. I think it didn't have "stop playing a podcast at the end of the episode, even if it's queued". (I like to queue stuff and listen to them at no particular order. I'm a whimsical girl like that.) Then I think this app got discontinued/went pay only, I can't remember.

Went with Google Podcasts. It was a pretty limited and janky experience (also no ability to stop at the end of the queued episode), but it did its job and I hoped it'd get better over years. It didn't. It got discontinued. Google sometimes can't do a good thing.

I manually migrated my subscriptions to some other app. (As one last hurrah Google then implemented OPML takeout.) Wasn't happy with this app. Couldn't help but notice my podcast listening habits were drying up due to all these minor snags. ADHD thing I'm sure.

Then I remembered AntennaPod and how perfect it was and how happy I was using it. I wanted to export OPML from this other app. It had OPML import but no export of any kind. Shit.

So I imported my subs manually again. And screw me if I ever have to do that again. But I'm happy again and that's what matters. I don't think I'll need to migrate again, I'm glad AntennaPod has nice backup features. (Which I already used to move the app from my tablet to my phone.)
