5 minute ad breaks every 15 minutes kinda ruin the experience.

    Oh, yeah, wait, I am using AntennaPod too. The subscription stuff was actually the reason I switched from Pocket Casts. Mixed up the names. I’d claim old age, but I’m not that old yet, really.

      I’m using antennapod because I had suspicions based on the ads I was getting that PocketCasts was selling the info of podcasts in my queue/listening history. After that I read their privacy policy to confirm that’s something they do and deleted my account/the app

      edit: important to add, I had a paid subscription account and they still appeared to be selling data on me

        If I remember correctly, the app was originally built by an Australian public broadcaster and then sold to WordPress Matt, so yeah.
