I did check it out earlier but feels a bit clunky that it must run the audio stream in a separate program. This means it'll inherently lack some functions like going back or forward 15 seconds with the press of a button as this is a function mostly inherent to podcast players, not e.g. VLC. Not the biggest issue but still.
I think VLC skips a number of seconds using the arrow keys when the window is in focus, though I'm not sure if the duration can be changed?
KDE Kasts has windows builds
Though I only ever use PocketCasts in my phone
Pocketcasts has a app(read:web wrapper) for Windows if someone has their Plus variant. But sadly, subscription model for podcasts is useless way to go.
Yeah I don't really get why I should pay like $20, or even more, yearly, for a service that just serves free podcasts, and where the money doesn't go to the creators at all. I like sync.. but that doesn't justify the price.
Ah see I was grandfathered in as a lifetime member from before it was purchased by NPR and then sold off...
At some point I'll probably switch to something like AntennaPod, but it's just such a great UX.
Always nice to meet a fellow grandfather.
In forcing myself to use open source. Antenna pod is the best in that category but man does it lack most of what pocketcast can do.
Thanks!
Grover podcast and fluent cast. Both are nice native apps. Neither is open source though
Grover Podcast seemed promising, too bad it's not open source. Might run with it either way if I can't find anything better.
Pocket Casts is great and open source
Since casts are just RSS, Newsboat can be used
