This is also kinda like my setup, nice!

Same, I stuck with podcast addict for so long - once I tried antennapod I didn’t have to switch anymore. I do sync with a selfhosted gpodder though - just to not get hooked on a single app.

I’m using antennapod. It syncs to a selfhosted gpodder instance and some podcasts are hosted on my audiobookshelf. I like some exclusive podcasts from podimo but their player is shit. Selfhost a tool that creates rss feeds for those walled podimo podcasts and they get downloaded and served by audiobookshelf.

Yeah. Why have RAM when you’re not gonna use it? The JVM is pretty efficient
