Do the apps allow you to download podcasts that you can't download from the podcast's own website though? That's what I'm really looking for.Pocket Casts is theh best app IMO. nice interface

Depends on the particular podcast. I know some remove their fre back catalogues and charge for them instead. That makes things more complicated.
Give me a title and I'll let you know?

Have a look at "In the Dark".
What I see on their website is only a "Listen Now" button.
There are a lot that do have download options but also a lot that don't and I just won't listen to them if I can't download them which is a shame.

Yipchaa!
I use Pocket Casts, but a friend recently mentioned that her app allows her to search for a specific episode title, which you can't seem to do on the Pocket Casts app (think you can on the web interface).Pocket Casts is theh best app IMO. nice interface
Also frustrating you can't download single episodes without subscribing to the whole feed, but I figure that's pretty standard across platforms.
Has anyone tried Radio Public? It's supposedly more curated by podcast creators and lovers, but I just can't seem to get used to using it. Maybe need to invest a bit more time effort to get over that bump.

I tried Radio Public a while back and just found it bafflingly awful to try to use - and it wouldn't seem to let me download anything. So I uninstalled it. I'm a bit of an arse with tech and anything that takes time to learn how to use quickly gets a "no" from me. Technology should make things easier.

Yeah, it certainly feels like the interface/layout could be improved/simplified. I'm a bit of a podcast nerd so I want to try and persevere, but can understand how it can put off someone who just wants a simple, non-faffy way to download podcasts.

Nope - Samsung phone mate.
I have a Samsung and currently using Castbox which is pretty good.
There are free and paid versions but I am getting on okay with the free one.
One I have not tried is Google Podcasts
Google launches a podcast app for Android with personalized recommendations

Just installed it
Rating in the Play Store is not great (3.4/5) but it is a nice clean interface
Needs a few new features I think but likely they will follow
Yeah, I get that. Requires a high tolerance for the worst excesses of American comedians.
Kermode & Mayo is increasingly unbearable, and overly reliant on the innumerable, unfunny in-jokes ('fuck off, Jason Issacs'). The stand-ins Sanjeev Baskhar and Robbie Collin are far superior as both host/interviewer and reviewer. Edith Bowman, on the other hand, is inane beyond belief, and Clarisse Loughrey's analysis is superficial at best.

The new series about the Lewinsky scandal is even better I think. Latest episode has a long interview with Linda Tripp, and is brilliant. The series does lay out in no uncertain terms what an utter scumbag Clinton is too, which is useful - distance in time and space has obscured that fact i think

Yes absolutely loving the new Slow Burn
Have subscribed but not started yet. Run out of Stanhope and Burr so today is probably a good time
Slow Burn added too
Still getting through the Butterfly Effect (Jon Ronson) but slowly as I find the narration/music a bit annoying even if the content is fascinating.

Got a link?
Not entirely sure about this player.
Really like the interface and it can create shortcuts for the podcasts so you can go straight in from your home screen which I think I like
It is always a pain moving podcasts from one app to another as they are all marked 'unplayed'

I'd be intrigued to know your (and others') thoughts about that interview. I do believe that someone could think that Clinton was a corrupt monster (because that is what he was) and needed to be stopped, and also that Tripp felt maternal towards Lewinsky; but if that were entirely true she must at some point have realised that rather than doing that she was delivering Lewinsky to immense, life ruining, harm, no? And she didn't admit that in the interview, so can she be truly believed? Maybe this needs a thread? It is fascinating.
I found it particularly interesting because of that tension between what was (or could be) real and what was Tripp's post-hoc justification for her actions... also as an example of the conspiracist thinking around the Clintons that helped Hilary Clinton lose the 2016 election. This is where a lot of that started.
