I use Funkwhale for my music collection and had my podcasts in there for a while. However, I ended up not listening to my podcasts very much since they were hidden among my much larger music collection.

So I moved my podcasts feeds to FreshRSS, which I was already using for RSS feeds. I like the simplicity of using something that I already had, but it doesn't have any podcast-specific features like being able to resume where you left off.

Do you have any podcast listening apps that you like?

*edit: I should add that I originally meant "self-hostable applications for storing your podcast subscriptions," but these phone app recommendations are great to have, too. I might just ditch the server-side of this entirely and just use a separate app on my devices for listening. It would be nice if I only had to subscribe in one place and be able to pick up where I left off across multiple devices, though.

Rss feeds to download the mp3. VLC to play them. I like to relisten to some series so building a library makes it easy.

I use Podcast Republic, nice interface, active developer, good library tracking. Search function is nice, can go by podcast name or description so you can search for guests. Subscription can auto download (I don't) lots of options for playback and bookmarks etc. I think it's very solid. *Just read the edit, but still a good app :)

I used to use Overcast but the UI refresh that happened last year caused me to switch to Pocket Casts, which I’ve been very happy with

Rss feeds on AIMP; I miss the time when AIMP could stream you tube videos; It was very convenient to have it all in one program.

I just download the mp3 and play it with mplayer. Don't need no apps.
