Gpodder.net used to reliably offer you the ability to synch open source podcasting apps like #Gpodder, #Antennapod, and #Kasts. Is federated podcast synching possible? It does not need a large amount of storage space, and I don't think any identifying information can be gleaned from that metadata.

So anyway, is federated podcast synching possible and how server intensive would it be? #fediverse

Is there a good #Podcast player for Linux that comes at least halfway close to what AntennaPod or Podcast Addict can do*? I gave #gPodder and #GnomePodcasts a try and they can't even remember the playback position, which is one of the most important features for an audiobook / podcast player.

*I have not used PA in like a decade, but even a decade ago it was practically perfect, so it bugs me that Linux app developers don't seem to be copying it enough.

ps.: I know I could use Waydroid to run the Android apps, but that raises its own problems, like all my files now being inside what's essentially a VM image instead of a regular folder. No thank you. Maybe in a few years when Waydroid has better desktop integration and is more stable.

If you go looking for #Linux #podcast apps or #Windows apps that you can run under #WINE, you end up reading a lot of bad articles written by people who 1. Have never actually used said app, and are just regurgitating the app page's talking points. Or 2. Have never actually used said app, and don't understand why you aren't using #iOS.

I think #gPodder for Windows is actually better than the Linux version. I might end up running the Windows version of a Linux app under WINE.

The best Windows podcast app for me has always been #Grover. It cost me $3 half a decade ago, and the dev is still pushing out updates.

For Android it is #AntennaPod by leaps and bounds above everything else. And despite its many many many faults, gPodder is still the best option for Linux users.
