I'm looking for a preferably non-web wrapper podcast player for Windows, that's preferably also open source. Having a tough time though. Any tips?

Pocketcasts has a app(read:web wrapper) for Windows if someone has their Plus variant. But sadly, subscription model for podcasts is useless way to go.

Ah see I was grandfathered in as a lifetime member from before it was purchased by NPR and then sold off...

At some point I'll probably switch to something like AntennaPod, but it's just such a great UX.

In forcing myself to use open source. Antenna pod is the best in that category but man does it lack most of what pocketcast can do.

Always nice to meet a fellow grandfather.

Yeah I don't really get why I should pay like $20, or even more, yearly, for a service that just serves free podcasts, and where the money doesn't go to the creators at all. I like sync.. but that doesn't justify the price.
