I'm in the middle of starting to create a podcast app and realized you bammas put me on to most of the earliest podcasts I listened so why not ask you?
My app is going to answer the lack of sharing options and add significantly better exploring options plus a few extras. I'm still on Downcast because I haven't found anything better but it's clunky and I don't feel that they're revising it fast enough with stitcher as my bench app. How are podcast apps on Android? Window phone?
I'll keep you all posted and just stated a small tumbler blog forcing on the entrepreneur's life here in Sweden.
The only problem I have is that I control the play/ff features a lot from the notification screen or the lock screen. Sometimes when I try to resume play it starts the podcast from the beginning. Annoying.

Windows Phone 8 has a built in podcast app which is pretty good, but Win 8.1 didn't include a podcast app.
NarrowCast works well on Windows Phone 8 and Win 8/10. It searches through the 'iTunes' database and allows for syncing across devices which use NarrowCast through OneDrive. (phones, tablets, PC's)
7. "that's my backup and one that I try out podcasts with" In response to Reply # 5
but I think it does a horrible job of suggesting other podcasts and want to answer that with one that gives you great ways to find podcasts, rate them in different categories and share in a better way than is offered currently.

Damn near unusable. In the past few years it seems like they've worked the bugs out. It's all I use, and I have absolutely no complaints these days. The fact that it iCloud-syncs your progress is great, because it allows you to pickup on another (Apple) device very easily.

I've had nonstop meetings with development companies about a partnership, seed investors and today a podcast app company. So far I'm leaning toward a development partnership since I'd probably be able to get something a lot sooner.
The app company.. er... well their plan is to have exclusive only podcasts in their app so we left that date knowing there most likely won't be another one. The TOTAL number of podcasts they have on their app right now is 180...
I'm already seeing the greed of people trying to figure out how to monetize podcasts in some strange ways. I hope that any forms of paywalls get crushed by the public since they can't really offer a value proposition when we've been getting AAA podcasts like Serial for free already.
Started a tumblr blog today just to have a place to start sharing podcasts. Feel free to submit if you'd like
