PodBean has gotten shitter and shitter, randomly stopping play when not on screen.

Google has just announced its taking Podcasts out behind the woodshed so you can pay them for YouTube Premium to watch video podcasts in the background in your pocket.

I just want something simple, free or a one off purchase, that is friendly to copying Patreon feed links etc.

Suggestions appreciated, although I still don't relish the idea of refollowing 50+ feeds again.

    Pocket Casts has always worked fine for me.

      Yep, seconded. I have used it for years and it is great. It was $5 flat when I bought it. Well worth it for the silence skipping and playback speed stats alone.

      Another vote for Pocket Casts.

      But just a note here ... They've moved away from one time purchase to a subscription model. I myself use the free version but if you want bookmarks and chapters and what have you, you'll need to shell out.
