“Wherever you get your podcasts” is a radical statement (www.anildash.com)

[…] being able to say, "wherever you get your podcasts" is a radical statement. Because what it represents is the triumph of exactly the kind of technology that's supposed to be impossible: open, empowering tech that's not owned by any one company, that can't be controlled by any one company, and that allows people to have ownership over their work and their relationship with their audience.

What podcasting holds in the promise of its open format is the proof that an open web can still thrive and be relevant, that it can inspire new systems that are similarly open to take root and grow.

I use spotify daily like most people these days. I'm not married to it, but it is easy to use (most of the time) and has the best selection of everything (for the most part). What app is a better use of my time for music and podcasts?

I like using AntennaPod for podcasts and Spotify for music.

If you like feature rich apps then I recommend Podcast Addict.

Is it available for iOS? The native podcast app is unbelievably confusing.

I don't personally use iOS, but some friends of mine have given good reviews about Podcast Republic - note that it has a one-time ads free unlock to it.
