Where or what apps are you using to listen podcasts and still protect your privacy?
I just use Google Podcasts.
Have you considered switching to a more privacy-friendly and open-source alternative like AntennaPod?
If anything, I may consider a self-hosted solution like Audiobookshelf, as I need my progress to be synchronized across many devices, including desktop web browser, something Google Podcasts does well for me, in my opinion.
You can sync AntennaPod with something like gpodder.net. There is also a self-hosted version, as it is free/libre open source software.
Not really, to be completely honest. I’m still too deep in the Google ecosystem.
That doesn’t make much sense to me, RSS is a standard, you should be able to swap out one podcast client for another. What are the barriers?
I’m lazy, and I already use Google Podcasts to keep track of what I’ve listened to already. Other than a client, I would also need to self-host something, so that I can continue my listening seamlessly (with synched progress) from multiple devices, including web browser on desktop, as I mentioned in a different comment.
You can sync AntennaPod with the public instance of gpodder.net.
