Worth noting that in October they're increasing their annual subscription price from $9.99 to $39.99, which is when I'll be finding another podcast app. I love Pocket Casts but it doesn't provide $40 worth of functionality for me.

Yea, using their app online is worth $10 a year, but $40? For what's basically a front end? They are out of their mind.

Do you know if you can export your podcasts from Pocket casts?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not sure what you would export, just your listening history and favorites? Pocket Casts doesn't host the actual audio files themselves, those are all available elsewhere online. I doubt there's an easy way to port your existing subscriptions and such to another app, that would require them all to use a standard format for that data and there's not really any incentive for that.

Yea, I figured out how to export it, but it doesn export what episodes I've.listened to, so I have to go back through my lists and transfer that (I like listening to back catalogs of my favorite podcasts.

I actually paid for the lifetime app membership a long time ago, so luckily this won't impact that, but not paying $40usd for just desktop use.

Does Antenna have a desktop app?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not as far as I know. You would have to use a desktop client that syncs with gPodder... like gPodder
