I’ve been warming up to switching to GrapheneOS for months. Last month I bought a Pixel 8 (which is the buggiest effing phone I’ve ever owned, good job Google). I’ve just been waiting to have the bandwidth.
But with Google sunsetting Google Podcasts, I’ve decided to make time next week. Podcasts are a MAJOR part of my daily functioning.
Since a lot of people have recommended antennapod: does anyone of you also have that weird problem where podcasts randomly skip backwards from anywhere as little as five seconds to a minute during normal playback?
I really love Podverse but ended up going back to Pocketcasts for the Android Auto support. They have a bounty out for the feature. I’ll switch back if they ever get it.
I personally switched my mom over to Pocket Casts after the news that Google Podcasts was shutting down. I don’t listen to podcasts, tho, and I really just picked it because it was rated well. It’s also not FOSS
93 nominations for the same thing, means I’m probably the wrong answer but I don’t Graphene, but I was degoogling and found PlayerFM listed among good Free Open Source Software FOSS options. Hope it works as Graphene option.
Just downloaded it, loads of features, free and doesn’t have a premium option.
I was using Pocket Casts which locks few features behind a paywall and pushes it. I don’t really like having things in the UI that are locked by a paywall, it’s fine if the app has more features and an option somewhere to pay for them but don’t clutter my general day to day use with advertising.
Same. That said, I’ve been trying it Grayjay and like it okay so far. So far I only have Odysee and YouTube channels, and I’ll be looking out for other services as well (thinking of trying a Nebula account).
It’s not useful for podcasts, but there are podcasts on services it supports, so depending on what OP is looking for, it could work.
Good job, you’re making a good choice! I’m on a Pixel 6 running GrapheneOS, love it. Takes a bit if TLC at the beginning, but it’s really nice and functional for me now.
For podcasts, I use Podverse. Works well for me, and runs well on GrapheneOS.
Antennapod is really great, but I found that it’s more complicated than I like. So I found another player called escape pod on fdroid that I really, really enjoy because of its KISS approach.
Edit: Oh, and congratulations. I have been degoogled entirely for about 2 years now and mostly degoogled for about 3 years before that.
