I'm deGoogling. What's my new Podcast app? (lemmy.starlightkel.xyz)

I've been warming up to switching to GrapheneOS for months. Last month I bought a Pixel 8 (which is the buggiest effing phone I've ever owned, good job Google). I've just been waiting to have the bandwidth.

But with Google sunsetting Google Podcasts, I've decided to make time next week. Podcasts are a MAJOR part of my daily functioning.

I use pocket casts and I tried switching to antenna pod because of a thread like this one and came right back to pocket casts. The deal breaker for me was no skip forward 30 seconds (e.g. ads) from the lock screen.

For you or others who are curious and want to do this:

AntennaPod settings > User Interface > Set playback buttons.

You can decide what shows up in your notification on your lock screen.

Also make sure to toggle Persistent Playback Controls on.

I did the same. I haven't switched back yet, but I'm very close. Audio doesn't continue playback when connecting to Android Auto, the screen shows suggestions instead of the queue, and silence trimming is all-or-nothing. Also, and this is just personal preference, the UI isn't as intuitive.
