Please support #peertube but they say they don't want to replace YouTube and I wish they did. They now want to do live streaming from their app but I don't think they have a good UX figured out yet. #owncast exists. It's frustrating.
IMO: model yourselves after YT, podcasting and #pocketcasts for right now. like mastodon did with twitter. accept that most people won't be posting videos. have the mobile app also have a website where we can search all known servers. give us a default username etc
#PocketCasts って Windows版とMac版アプリもあったのね。知らなかった。
たぶん WEB 版のラッパーだと思うけど。

“Pocket Casts now supports the #Podcasting 2.0 Funding tag! This means that if a show includes this tag in their RSS feed, we’ll display a Funding button ($) in #PocketCasts that links to a way you can financially support them – such as through Patreon or other funding platforms. Supporting #podcasts financially helps creators keep making the shows you know and love.”
最近 #PocketCasts のページに冒頭の文字起こしが表示されるようになったけど。邪魔だな…。
たぶんこれも生成AIを使ってるんだろうけど。Google 検索トップのAI機能といい。ただ使えば良いと言うものじゃない。ユーザーの利便性になっていないものも多い。😅

The #Automattic Customer Service (sorry "Customer Happiness") team are quite nice to deal with, at least the ones at Pocket Casts. I didn't quite get what I needed, but that was more my fault for being riddled with ADHD and chronic forgetfulness than theirs.
They came to a good compromise though.
I feel I should probably call out good CS when I see it rather than just whining about the bad :D
AFAIK there is no way from #PocketCasts to share the source links.
Listen to the whole series. But if you have time for only one episode, this is my choice. Here the concept of #enshittification is combined with #TechnoFeudalism.
Here is the source link: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/1353-the-naked-emperor/episode/16148346-kick-em-in-the-dongle
I hate it that #PocketCasts replaces the original links with their own URLs. They are trying to enshittify podcasts here.
たぶん #PocketCasts のサーバーの問題だと思うけど。再生が突然止まったり。再生は続いてても音が出なかったりすることが、ここ数日ちょこちょこ起きる。😢
#PocketCasts のWEB版も無料で使えるようになったの、ほんと助かる。
Seit einigen Tagen hab ich folgendes #iOS #Problem:
Wenn ich dem #iphone sage "Siri spiele Nachrichten", fangen diese vorne wieder an, wenn sie fertig sind.
Ebenso auf der #applewatch - mit #PocketCasts - also andere App: Damit höre ich beim Laufen Podcasts. Seit einigen Tagen wiederholen die Loops von wenigen Minuten nahtlos. Ich höre plötzlich wieder eben gehörtes. Mega nervig.
Habt ihr das auch?
From Overcast to Castro: A Podcast App Journey
I listen to a lot of podcasts.
Over the years, I’ve used just about every podcast app worth trying, but for a long time, Overcast was my go-to. One of the big features that kept me there was the “priority” system, which pushed your favorite shows to the top of the queue automatically. It helped manage the chaos.
That feature stopped working reliably around the time of Overcast’s big rewrite in 2024. I kept using it for a while, hoping things would improve, but they never really did. At one point I removed all of the prioritization settings to simplify things, but that only made the experience worse.
So I started looking around.
I gave Pocket Casts a try, and to its credit, it was mostly great. Filters were powerful, syncing worked well across devices, and the UI was clean and dependable. But over time, I missed the triage-style listening flow I was used to. Neither Overcast nor Pocket Casts really delivered that anymore. I tried to rig up my own system which was mostly really solid, but it just wasn’t the right fit for me.
That’s when I decided to give Castro another look.
Castro was acquired by new developers in 2024, and the app has seen a real resurgence since then. Long-standing bugs and edge case issues have been addressed, and the core experience that made Castro compelling in the first place has stayed intact.
What I’ve always appreciated about Castro is its Inbox and Queue system. You can subscribe to your favorite shows, but new episodes don’t go straight into your Up Next list unless you want them to. Instead, they show up in an inbox for review. This makes it easy to be intentional about what I listen to. You can also push important episodes to the top of your queue, which gives me back the control I lost when Overcast’s system broke.
And while it’s not the most important thing for a podcast app, Castro is the best looking option in my opinion. The typography, layout, and color choices are all more thoughtful than the competition. You don’t spend a lot of time inside the app once you hit play, but good design still matters, and Castro gets it right. The voice boost and trim silence features aren’t quite as good as Overcast in my experience, but it’s all still there.
For now, Castro is the podcast app that best fits how I want to listen. Unless something major changes, I’m planning to stick with it. The yearly subscription is $25 instead of $15, but it’s being actively developed at a clip much greater than what I’ve seen in Overcast-land.

Overcast stopped meeting my needs, which set me on a. journey to find the best podcast app for me.

We need a #pocketcasts for #peertube.
I have a guest pass for 2 Months of PocketCasts Plus if anyone wants it. No catch, no need to follow; if ya want it, let me know.
Just sharing ;-)
@andrekaiser @eikedrescher Hatte ich auch schon getestet, aber leider keine iPad Version und kein Sync oder kommt da was?
Bin ja seit Jahren Team #PocketCasts
@physicist I just discovered your YouTube channel. Are you able to add your content to #PocketCasts ?
Nice to see #PocketCasts beat out Spotify for 2nd favorite podcasting app.
@pocketcasts - iOS keeps saying “Sync failed” since the update today. Known issue? And if so, any known workarounds?
