PodcastMenu is a simple app which puts Overcast on your Mac's menu bar so you can listen to your favorite podcasts while you work.

Jeremy Bauer · Answer

Yep, was pleasantly surprised to see my favorite podcasts pop on here recently

I started using this when I switched from iOS to Android. Works really well. Wish there was a Mac OS version.

Abe Estrada · Answer

I like this option because this way I can keep my podcasts synchronized with my phone

Spotify has a good mac version for podcasts that's supported on mobile as well.

Rebecca · Answer

Breaker is my favorite. I love the social aspect.

Daniel Wilkinson · Answer

The focus on finding individual podcast episodes that fit my usage pattern has been awesome!

Michael · Answer

+1 for Breaker, although I don't use the social part the app is seamless. Switched from Overcast after it stopped saving what episode was already played. (could have been a bug but forced me to switch)

Unofficial Pocket Casts client for macOS. There are a lot of iOS/mobile versions and web players recommended in this thread, but this is a macOS application, and sync with your existing Pocket Casts account. If you use Pocket Casts on mobile, I suggest this solution.

•  Progress bar indicator on Dock icon
•  Supports the use of default media player controls on your Mac (F7-F9)
•  Fullscreen mode

All devices on Pocketcasts for 2 years now. My best.

it is neat!

Justin Bishop · Answer

This pretty much sums up the web now.  People ask for a desktop app, and everyone answers (and upvotes) an app just for mobile.  Meanwhile websites I view on my desktop tell me to do things like swipe or long press.  RIP desktops.

Dalileo Dalilei · Answer

Downcast has everything you need :D

Peter Johnson · Answer

Works great, although uploading podcasts through the website seems to take an age to appear on the phone. Perhaps I am missing something?

Addo Zhang · Answer

nice product with great UI.

Michael Lee · Answer

If you already use Overcast on iOS, have a look at their website. Provides a list of all podcasts you're subscribed to and lets you listen to podcasts in the browser.

devjia · Answer

Pocket Casts has a new player for the browser, so you can play your podcasts synced with your app! https://playbeta.pocketcasts.com
