I’ve had good experiences with Castbox.
I’ve been very happy with Podurama for the last few months.
On Android I use Podcast Addict and on PC I use Podgrab running from Docker. I haven't found a.way to sync them
Guess not what you're after, but I switched from Spotify to Deezer which has podcasts built in. So I only need one app.
I use Playapod for Android. I've used it for years and haven't found anything better.
Old post, but if you connect your phone to your PC using bluetooth, you can play audio to your PC from your phone, at least this works for me on KDE plasma. I use this to continue listening to music/podcasts from my phone without having to set up any sort of sync solution.
Previously, I was usin scrcpy, an adb based solution to route audio from my phone to my computer.
Still love Pocketcasts and would use nothing less (though I have a lifetime membership since I beta'd the web player when it first launched, so YMMV)
I love pocket casts, but their recent price hikes are wild. AntennaPod is a nice open source alternative that I've been enjoying the last few weeks.
I didn't see it in the comments but I am very happy with Podcast Guru om android.
I support Pocket Casts because it's made by Automattic, the makers of WordPress, Tumblr, and WooCommerce. Their CEO, Matt Mullenweg, is someone who seems to really care about the freedom and diversity of the internet. As far as players go, it's got all the features you'd want for an Android app.
I seldom listen on my PC, but if I want to I can usually find the stream on whatever service the podcast has chosen (their own site, or whichever embedded player they elect to use).
I too love PocketCasts and love what Mullenweg has done, but want to point out that Automattic bought PocketCasts from NPR - https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/16/22580023/automattic-pocket-casts-podcast-app-tumble-wordpress
Automattic themselves didn't/don't make PocketCasts.
Edit: Fixed type (lost > love)
Who got it from Shifty Jelly :)

If you like taking notes, I and found Snipd recently. To take a note you hit back twice on your headphones and it uses AI to create a transcript and summary of what they just said. So far seems pretty good but I've only tried it on thr Huberman podcast. It's free right now but they will try to monetize in future.
Snipd is surprisingly solid, but I wound up going back to Pocketcasts because I missed trim silence, web player, and the UI.
On desktop I use Tildes. It's fairly minimalistic in terms of features, but very smooth and attractive UI. It does what I need with no headaches and looks great doing it. Like many others here I use AntennaPod on mobile.
What's Tildes? Please share a link to try it.
I actually noticed recently that it's no longer maintained so I'll have to find another desktop solution.
