Honestly, my biggest use case is listening on the phone and listening on my PC while at work. The two sync together extremely well and it’s pretty seamless. No idea if Apple Podcasts can do that (or plays that nicely on a Mac) but that’s my biggest use case for their sync capabilities.
If you’re only listening to Podcasts on a single device, then there’s literally a ton of great podcast apps available.
The issue is really using several devices, with podcast downloads and listening status syncing across all devices. Spotify might be the closest, second-best option, but I find that really messy because it’s not optimized for podcasts, and because I don’t want to have podcasts mixed in with my music.
Yeah but I guess I just don’t use podcasts on other devices. Too much headphone switching.

And I just looked up Noam Chomsky on Spotify podcasts and he wasn’t there. He is on Apple Podcast.
