Escapepod

Escapepod is a simple and lightweight app for listening to podcasts.

Escapepod is a podcast player with a minimalistic approach, that may not be to everyone's liking. The app has only a single screen. Playback controls and a list of podcasts that shows the five most recent episodes each. Escapepod has no podcast discovery feature. It only offers a very simple search option and it opens RSS podcasts links when you tap them in a web browser.

Escapepod searches the gpodder.net (https://gpodder.net/directory/) online database. Gpodder.net is a great page, if you are looking for new stuff to listen to, BTW.
