I use Funkwhale for my music collection and had my podcasts in there for a while. However, I ended up not listening to my podcasts very much since they were hidden among my much larger music collection.

So I moved my podcasts feeds to FreshRSS, which I was already using for RSS feeds. I like the simplicity of using something that I already had, but it doesn’t have any podcast-specific features like being able to resume where you left off.

Do you have any podcast listening apps that you like?

*edit: I should add that I originally meant “self-hostable applications for storing your podcast subscriptions,” but these phone app recommendations are great to have, too. I might just ditch the server-side of this entirely and just use a separate app on my devices for listening. It would be nice if I only had to subscribe in one place and be able to pick up where I left off across multiple devices, though.

    I’m quite happy with audiobookshelf. Sometimes I’m in the mood to listen to a book, sometimes I fancy a podcast and audiobookshelf let’s me do both with little fuss. (and it has oidc support for authentication which means I now authenticate with my single sign on solution)

    You asked for a podcast client, so here’s AntennaPod.

    I have it on auto backup and share the backup with all my other devices over Syncthing.

    No need to self-host anything.

    I’m using antennapod. It syncs to a selfhosted gpodder instance and some podcasts are hosted on my audiobookshelf. I like some exclusive podcasts from podimo but their player is shit. Selfhost a tool that creates rss feeds for those walled podimo podcasts and they get downloaded and served by audiobookshelf.

    I don’t understand the point of self hosting for podcasts. The whole point of podcasts is being able to stream or download them directly from the source.

    Until someone makes a self-hosted podcast caching server that can strip the embedded ads using AI, I’ll have no idea why people do it.

    I used to use Airsonic. Suporte auto downloads of podcast episodes.

    It worked for me as I mostly listens to music and 1 or 2 podcasts once and a while. Not listened to podcast for a while so might use just Antenna Pod.

    I have also moved on from Airsonic to LMS (Lightweight Music Server) and use Ultrasonic on mobile.
