What do you use for listening to podcasts? (feddit.online)

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.

Doesn't matter, you don't need the UI. You just connect it to AntennaPod or other supported client(s).

I don't think I understood what gPodder is. The website says gpodder.net is a sync service, but doesn't seem to indicate that it can be self hosted. The list of clients has gPodder listed as a desktop PC client to gpodder.net. Does the desktop client also work as a server?

AntennaPod can sync to gpodder.net (only at that url?). When I tried it I got a load of timeouts. Instead I enabled the gpoddersync NextCloud app to my own server. That worked like a charm between AntennaPad and kasts on PC.

I also use AntennaPod on Android and sync it to my self-hosted Nextcloud instance using GPodder Sync, where I can access my podcast subscriptions and episodes using NextPod.

It is both a sync service and a client.

That doesn't clarify anything for me. Is the client application also the service, or are they (as I believe) two different things with the same name?

What I'm really getting at is that FreshRSS is self-hostable and as far as I can tell - gPodder isn't.

They are.

It is.

Oh cool, I wasn't aware of gpodder.net. I actually thought you were talking about the desktop gpodder application, which I had used before. Didn't realize there was a server-side component to it as well. Thanks!

I see. mygpo is the code that runs gpodder.net. I guess it could be self-hosted, but it doesn't look straight forward to do so. I missed it since in the docs it's under the developer section, not the user section. gpoddersync seems much easier as long as you're ok using Nextcloud. It would be nice if mygpo were packaged for Nix or docker. Maybe I'll give that a go at some point.
