I am with @vaishs.bsky.social here. Almost always use the app while doing something else, so all the klunk isn’t bothering me as much. I’ve heard good things about Castro, so maybe worth checking it out.

I do too because podcasts listening is a passive activity but there are so many papercuts in the app now. Yeah I’m going to try moving to Castro or Pocket Cast but from what I’ve heard their equivalents of Smart Speed aren’t as good.
