    Yet another music app ruined by forced podcasts. Only Qobuz and Apple Music left I guess.

        Oh Tidal definitely tried to push me towards podcasts during my free trial.

          TIL

          Just searched for it and it’s there if you look for it.

          Was not at all on my feed after scrolling all the way to the bottom though - only after looking for it.

          There seem to be a total of 13 podcasts on there :D

        I love Podcast Addict. I’ve been using it for years and it’s so customizable. Easily auto downloads the podcasts you want and not for others. I’ve tried many other podcast apps and nothing compares.

      AntennaPod allows streaming podcasts. I don’t think it shows that option by default though. You have to view the individual podcast or change the default in the settings for streaming.

        Most podcast apps allow streaming - the question was if there is one that does only allow it

    Thanks Google /s

    Now that podcasts have migrated to YouTube music , which isn’t available in my location, I’ve lost access to podcasts via Google.

    In fairness I don’t use Google podcasts anyway because it was a really poor podcast app but the swap will suck for people who do use it and don’t have access to YTM.

    Well, welcome to the club, I guess? Hard to understand how a corporation as big as Google (or Alphabet) has such a hard time catching up to other music/podcast services. I am subscribed to Youtube premium, so I try Youtube music every once in a while and it’s just not as good as Spotify! The playlists Spotify generates are lightyears ahead of anything Yt music has. And the main page of YouTube music is just random stuff that has nothing to do with anything even remotely similar to stuff I listened to. Also, so many artist pages still have no additional information about the artist/band.

    Anyway, for podcasts I prefer Pocketcasts. The free version is more than enough for the amount of podcasts I actively listen to.
