I'm deGoogling. What's my new Podcast app? (lemmy.starlightkel.xyz)

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.

The problem is for me that it usually downloads to some obscure folder, not to where I want to save and archive my podcasts.

Any podcast app I've used saves them wherever it needs to be able to read them.

I think saving and archiving podcasts is a niche use-case. I've jumped between apps and I just go resubscribe to the shows I want. If I need to find an old episode, I just go to that show and stream or download that episode.

I can't think of a reason why I'd need to keep those files stored anywhere.

If you don't really care about the podcast then that's OK, but if I like a podcast I want a permanent offline copy to relisten to if the podcast goes offline. I guess I'm a bit of a data-hoarder and that's niche, but simply being able to save a file you download to where you want I think should be a standard feature, there's no need for an extra layer of abstraction.

Looks like AntennaPod can do just that
