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.
Prefer Pocket Casts to Overcast but both are competent and powerful if need be. And both are worlds better than Apple’s podcast app.
