I noticed a new background image on the Android podcast app this morning. I thought one of my podcasts changed their icon art. Nope, it’s a Logan Paul podcast. I’ve never listened to any of his stuff. I only heard about him when he challenged someone to an MMA fight I think?
I only listen to Behind the Bastards, The Dollop, and Prosecuting Donald Trump, plus occasionally My Brother My Brother and Me.
I figured maybe one of my kids had subscribed or I had hit a subscribe button on the home page. Well, in the app, when I unsubscribe it immediately re-subscribes. I saw where other users had the same problem and it went away after an hour. This was 11 hours ago. I pulled it up on the Web version of Google podcasts. It looks like it unsubscribes but if I refresh, I’m subscribed again.
Any ideas? Is there a way to block a podcast?
Edit: Problem still persists 24 hours later. I’m not allowed to turn on the explicit filter either. On the app or on the web interface. What’s a good android program that will record video of my screen and highlight taps? I want to record this. I think I still have OBS studio on my computer to show the web behavior.
Would you consider AntennaPod instead? It has been good for my podcast listening (audio only, no idea actually if it handles video ones).
Yep. Still can’t unsubscribe. Uninstalled the app and reinstalled. Still there. I’m allowed to unsubscribe the other podcasts.
I used to use pocket casts, but I’ll give all the apps mentioned here a try. Google podcasts integrated with auto mode in maps which I’ll miss, though.
I’ve already lost Google music for the pretty much non-functional YouTube music. Google is losing their talent.
I miss the Shifty Jelly era of Pocket Casts. App updates were so much fun, reading the changelog. Who even owns it now? I still use it but I’m nostalgic fonthr old black & red days when it was still indie.
