That’s just the Google way… still didn’t get over the RSS reader disaster… Anyways, I tried the app a couple of times: it’s not a great app for listening to podcasts. If you like podcasts, try Antennapod, Pocket Casts or Podcast Addict (and please stay away from Spotify).

In the end: good riddance.

Hell yeah, AntennaPod is so good. It’s better better than most paid and ad supported alternatives I’ve tried and the best part it’s FOSS.

One use for RSS feeds is to distribute podcasts to multiple apps. I believe most podcasts apps are just RSS readers combined with an audio player.

Using IFTTT to send starred RSS items to pocket is really useful even still!

I use RSS to help decide if an item is worth reading or not based on the title

Why did you say “stay away from Spotify”?

Because Spotify uses (not their own) podcasts to generate revenue, but doesn’t pay the creators.

Every podcast does that.

Also they host many podcasts and have their own advertising service which can insert ads dynamic ads into the podcast from which the Podcaster is profiting too
