I'm guessing that AntennaPod is giving me these Apple Podcast recommendations because they get some money to shovel this shit at me, but... The Joe Rogan Experience? Like what if Art Bell but malicious? Ben Shapiro? Inflicting intergenerational trauma rather than pursuing therapy? Big media hates us, is the only answer I can come to, and truth is I will consider podcast player recommendations if I can get away from this shit (or get good recs).

Making your own podcast player isn't that hard https://vertikal.dk/artikler/jeg- lavede-min-egen-podcast-tjeneste

Going simple is the answer https://docs.feedly.com/article/289-how-to-add-podcasts

Personally, I stick to Podcast Addict, but YMMV https://alternativeto.net/soft...cense=opensource&platform=iphone

Doh, that post was meant to be accompanied by a picture, guess I fouled that up.

Yeah, I used to use Bashpodder, back when it was sync from my desktop to my... whatever the little MP3 player was back in the day. Sansa Clip?

And, yes, I often sub straight to the RSS feed, and even this isn't a huge deal because it's just the thing I click through on the way to add a podcast, but it's also another reminder that there's a lot of energy being put into us consuming bullshit and hate, and it sure would be nice if we could change the world around us so that media companies pushing Rogan or Shapiro on us was met with the fury of a thousand angry suns.
