podStation Podcast Player

I love this extension, please please Chrome don't wreck it by saying it's "not supported". It's perfectly fine!

thats better than real phone apps! please keep it up

I tried a ton of podcasting apps and extensions before settling on this one. It has a simple and intuitive interface that does all the basics that I need it to do. I can easily subscribe to podcasts and it notifies me when there are new episodes available. It auto-plays the next episode in the list, which is convenient while I'm working to just keep things rolling along in the background. If you're looking for an easy-to-use podcasting extension with a good feature set I would highly recomm... Show more

Keeping in mind the app is a work in progress and the author keeps asking people how to make it better; When I make a playlist the list won't start automatically and when I manually start my playlist the podcasts won't automatically advance to the next podcast(s). When I review the "Latest Episodes" list episodes I've already listened to aren't indicated or even removed entirely and there is no way for me to manually indicate which episodes I have listened to or remove them from the Episodes ...

Hello Steven, I don't have plans to automatically start playing a podcast when it is added to the playlist, but there is an option in the player called "continue playing". When you use that, the next podcast will play when the current one ends. You can choose between playing the next episode from the playlist, from the last episodes or from the same episode. As for the option for marking episodes as listened and hiding them, this blog post explains why this option is not available on podStation: https://podstation.blogspot.com/2017/11/why-cant-i-mark-episodes-as-listened-on.html It does not mean it is impossible that I will ever implement it, but I is a difficult one.

Have just received the notification about possible disruption to the PodStation service. Please (!) continue your work to revive it if this happens, PodStation has been the best podcast 'app' I've tried and come across. Best wishes.

Dear Mr. Guilherme, this is my ONLY Podcast extension for the longest time. It has been so long I fail to recall when I started using it (perhaps 4+ years now). I have been a silent admirer of the extension everyday that I have used it, simply owing to how easy-to-use & organized it is. I can tell this is a product made out of love & dedication as it does not have the commercial bells & whistles. Although it will be sad if this extension shuts off, I fully understand your need to balance your... Show more

This is one of the few podcast apps that is user friendly to me as a blind person using a screen reader. Thanks and hope it won't be gone for long!

Guilherme DellagustinDeveloperJun 5, 2024

Thank you for the message. I never had the time to actively test podStation for accessibility, but I'm very glad it works well for you. In the future, when the things are better with podStation, I would be glad to work on improvements to make it even more accessible, if you have suggestions.

Some of my usual podcasts are spotify only now which makes me really sad because I much prefer this player. To the creator: Thank you for all your hard work, I read you are going through rough times, so I'm sending you all the good vibes I can!

I'm glad you are taking value from podStation. Thank you for your kind words.
