I come from Android, i used Antennapod which was a really solid and intuitive open source podcast app. Ideally id like to find something similar.
I find Apple Podcasts app to have pretty poor ui/ux, too cluttered, too many taps to get to where I want to be.
I use Overcast, too. It’s quite good for my needs.
Years ago, the Apple app lost my subscriptions and listening history twice in a short amount of time, so I moved on and haven’t looked at anything else since then.
I agree. Overcast!
