Gary saw a spike in downloads and traffic that propelled his show to the top of Apple podcast charts.

Is There a Clear Replacement For Google Podcasts?

I've looked at a few apps to replace Google Podcasts. You can filter the results at https://podcasting2.org/apps to show Andoird. I talk about Truefans, Podvers, Podcast Guru, and Podcast Addict. No clear winner for me... how about you?
