I mean, if Google weren't shit, I'm sure Android would be more viable. They've can't even keep a consistent brand! They've gone from Google Play this and that, to migrating everything - including podcasts - to YouTube.

If only there were other apps for podcasts on Android, it would be a viable operating system.

Google is kind of crap, but Android has a lot more built-in escape hatches than iOS does. People don't seem to use them as much as I'd hoped, but they're available.

I've been using Podcast Addict for years now. Dunno why people think they are bound to one thing when Android offers so many choices.

I will confess I used Google podcasts for years not realizing that the FOSS alternatives were MASSIVE improvements.
