I’ve been warming up to switching to GrapheneOS for months. Last month I bought a Pixel 8 (which is the buggiest effing phone I’ve ever owned, good job Google). I’ve just been waiting to have the bandwidth.

But with Google sunsetting Google Podcasts, I’ve decided to make time next week. Podcasts are a MAJOR part of my daily functioning.

    I’m not changing folder structure constantly, I just want it somewhere sensible where I can find it.

      So what’s wrong with deciding that, and then letting the app manage it from there?

        It’s an unnecessary layer of abstraction that solves a problem that never existed. If you have a lot of podcasts it’s nice to be able to organise them in a directory structure that makes sense to you, not necessarily what the app wants. Also podcast file names aren’t always easily sortable or even human-readable so you’ll want to rename them as you save them.

          The problem that exists is finding, downloading, and organizing all those podcasts. Doing that all manually is a major chore with no upside.
