Thanks! (And I should say, it was a genuine question :-)). I’ll take a look at them; I don’t listen to any Spotify exclusives (yay!), but there are one or two that I subscribe to their supporter schemes and at the moment I do that through Spotify. I guess that’s my next task, work out if there’s a way to subscribe directly and use something like Antennapod.

Edit: corrected mistake about Pocket Cast.
Pocket Casts isn’t proprietary, it’s licensed under the MPL 2.0
Thank.you for the correction! I’ll fix it in my comment too.
No worries!
