What do you use then? On the iPhone there are many good ones. Please just don't use Spotify. I've heard Overcast is pretty good.

Why not Spotify?
I have both Spotify and Apple Podcasts, but I never really got into Spotify for anything other than music because it syncs better to my home speakers, and I generally take podcasts on the go.
Apple Podcast app is the ideal. Simple and straight to the point.
I’m very been using overcast for over a decade. Great app. Solo developer.
