There are a million reasons to ruin things.
The stock Podcasts app is actually much better now than the previous versions. I might be the last person who didn't jump ship to a different app, though.

Regarding Maximum Fun Drive: bonus episodes are only available for 5$/month and up, donation-wise, and not one-time donations? I'm happy to donate the equivalent of a few months worth, but would prefer a one-timer if possible.

They only accept monthly donations because they set their budget around getting money every month.

I use the stock app too and I'm fine with it. My only real issue with podcasts and iTunes is how it'll stop downloading and updating if I don't listen to the past (x) episodes. Sometimes I stockpile. At least give me an option to either turn it off or up the number of unlistened episodes.

Yeah the Apple Podcast app was straight garbage when first released. But 2.0 came out around the release of ios7 and it does everything it needs to. No switching to iTunes to search for podcast either.

The stock Podcasts app has been annoying me the way it frequently has errors saying the podcast is "temporarily unavailable". Not sure if that's exclusive to the app but it didn't always happen and now it's happening all the time.

Also when a download fails the episode still shows up in recent episodes with a blue dot like it's there but then it won't play when I'm in the subway and that's where I really need podcasts.

I think I need to try Downcast.

Kinds. You can by podcast it seems.

Go to a Podcast. Click on Edit. An empty circle will come up next to each episode and at the top, "Edit" and "Mark" appear. Click all of the circles to mark the episodes, click "Mark" at the top and you'll get the option to mark as played or unplayed.

Seconding BeyondPod. I've literally never had a single problem with it in the two years or so that I've been using it.

Yeah, I knew you could do it for each individual podcast but it'd be nice if there was a way to do it for all podcasts at once. Especially since if you add old episodes it counts them as new. Also I subscribe to a lot of podcasts that I only listen to if I like the guest(s). :v:

Todd Glass is on the Todd Barry podcast today. He opens by saying that he was thinking of topics he shouldn't talk about because he's covered them on podcasts too much already. Then he talks about comedy club policies and etiquette for the next hour. I didn't hate it since both Todds are great, but not exactly breaking new ground.

I'm catching up on the Maxfundrive JJGO livestream right now, and I'm normally a big fan of these guys, but I have to wonder why Jesse introduced Gillian Jacobs and then immediately started telling a long meandering story about the postal service museum.

He wasn't always this intense. The early run of Jordan Jesse Go was actually really good.

Ordinarily I don't have any problem with it. It just seemed odd to me that Gillian was introduced for a liveshow, I zoned out for a second, and then he was telling a seemingly irrelevant story while she and Jordan were mostly quiet.

After a minute or two the show returned to the normal flow and I found it quite entertaining. It just seemed like an odd moment to me, since in my opinion at least, he's usually quite professional re: the running of his dick-joke podcast.

Yea Jessie is normally really good but it was a pretty dumb, pointless, ramble that was honestly a little rude to do right after introducing someone.

I wanted to say that your podcast can be hit or miss, (but that shouldn't be a surprise when the content you are reading is so varied) sometimes I love it, other times I'm not so interested. I do have to say that any time you need to stop because the stuff you are reading makes you nauseous is just the best.

There is a Fiction subforum on that site and the post you're referring to is not in it. That being said it is the internet and it could all be insane lies. However, some of the Gay gentlemen I know have had some issues with meth & sex in their lives and it isn't out of the question for them to say they spent 3 days hooking up with random dudes at an event of some kind. The Breeding Zone attracts people who are into some pretty intense levels of their fantasy play if it is fantasy.

This is an old post, but just in case other people are getting the same problem I found a workaround on iPhone. If I have network connection, half the time when I go to play a downloaded podcast it will tell me it needs to connect to mobile data to download and play it. However if I switch my phone into airplane mode then it will play just fine. Once its started playing you can turn airplane mode off and it will still keep playing.

Summary: Podcast app is hosed.
