I have been using PocketCasts for a long time, but it’s been enshitifying for a while now. The most annoying part is the huge amount of ads that are inserted in the podcasts, and I can’t even tell if that money goes to the creators or to PocketCasts.

So any good recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    I don’t think they were bought by anyone, but their distributor did recently approve them for ads. I suggested that as a possibility, but she was pretty sure it was PocketCasts inserting them. We shall see either way.
