What's a good podcast player nowadays? I liked google podcasts cause you could go in the page source and snag the mp3 files easily enough and save em, but they're going away in April. It looks like if I wanna do that on like Spotify or other players, I have to pay a subscription. Surely there's a better alternative out there

If you're on iOS, Castro lets you just fetch any episode off of any podcast feed and manually add it to your queue whether you're subscribed or not. You can also "sideload" in basically just any mp3 file as if it's an episode of something as well, but that's a "premium" feature.

Sadly, Castro may or may not be dying a slow death of neglect by its owners, so its time may (or may not) be limited.

I probably shoulda mentioned my platform whoops, thanks for the suggestion though

The two that come up most are Podcast Addict and Overcast. I use Podcast Addict and the only thing it doesn't do that I wish it did was sync progress across devices, otherwise it has everything I've ever needed and more.

These seem promising, I'll give em a go, thanks
