Podcast apps other than Stitcher jk

I kicked Apple to the curb and now I'm a happy Samsung lady. I'm new to Android and I miss my podcasts! When I listen in stitcher Pete sounds like he's taking espresso intravenously 24/7. At first it was hilarious, but I haven't hate it now. What apps play podcasts at normal human speed?

I use a free app on my Samsung, Podcast Addict, I love it!

If you like Stitcher Id first check the playback settings because you may have unknowingly increased the playback speed. Here's some info: https://stitcher.helpshift.com/a/stitcher-radio/?s=new-partner-faq&f=variable-speed-playback

Google Play Music is another option. Access to the music library is a subscription, but I believe the podcast section is free. I use this because I like having all of my audio in one app.

Another vote for Podcast Addict! Great program, free, and easy to use.

I use Castbox and it works great for me.

I'm not a fan of stitcher, it was just the first app I saw. Thanks for the suggestions I'll check em out.

I use Pocket Casts. I've used it for years and will never switch. It's so user friendly with a clean layout but also has tons of useful features.

Oh dear...
You understand that every podcast app has a setting where you can adjust the playback speed, right?

Back when the Universal Edition was 3 people, i would intentionally sometimes listen to it on the slower speed because everyone sounded stoned and it made the show even funnier

I second this.
It's a pay app (i think 3.99 or 4.99 in both android and apple stores), but worth it!

I love Apple, but they ruined their own Podcasts app. Pocket Casts is so easy on the eyes and customizable in nearly every function.

Clearly not. I didn't have to worry about it with Apple, it's one of the few features I liked. I'm still new to Samsung and Android, I'll figure it out eventually LOL

Why would one need to adjust the speed of a speaking program? It's not an record player where I'm plopping on various sizes of LP's. I mean the speed at which a person talks is, well it. I didn't think playback speed would be a necessary feature, I would not have thought to even look for it.

Because some people might want to listen to a lengthy podcast or audiobook in half the time, or listen to it slower if they are speaking too fast.
And the option was on the apple podcast app, too.

I'll give another recommendation to Pocket Casts. Great app, and it works everywhere. Apple, Android, and on the web. Really helpful for those of us who jump between devices a lot. You do have to pay a small price for the multiple device syncing, but well worth it.

I use Overcast on iOS, not sure if it's available on Android, but it's great - and free. It also has a web app.

Overcast has a Smart Speed feature (and I'm sure other apps do as well) where it will adjust the speed, on the fly, to shorten any silence. It saves some time without making the voices sound weird.

Pocket Casts is by far the best pod cast app on Android. It costs a few bucks, but it is worth every penny.

I use Overcast on iOS, not sure if it's available on Android, but it's great - and free. It also has a web app.

Overcast is only on iOS. Also, Pocket Casts has its own version of Smart Speed.

I use Feedly and if I want a little more control I use Feedly to download the app and play it with Double twist. I have an LG Android phone.
