    I’m going to ask a legitimate question and I promise I’m not trolling but this seems insane to me and I have to ask.

    Why in the fuck would anybody use a special app just for podcasts?

    I just go to the website, download the show, throw it on my phone and I’m good to go. It takes very little time I don’t have anyone selling my listening data.

    I’d genuinely like to know what the benefit is.

      I just subscribe to a bunch of podcasts and it automatically downloads them for me. It handles keeping track of what I’ve listened to and can queue up a variety of them for easy listening like a customized radio station.

      Here’s what mine looks like:
