Just a note: Overcast is written and maintained by one person - Marco Arment - including server maintenance and has been for over a decade. He also created his own non scammy ad platform that just lets companies buy banner ads based on the category of the podcast.

You get very little extra for the $15/year subscription fee. That’s not a complaint. You get all of the features that most people care about in the Fred version.

It’s available for the iPhones, iPads and the web with full CarPlay support and it syncs podcasts to the Apple Watch.

He did learn from his mistake of making Instapaper a one time payment and sold it.

For those who don’t know, he was the cofounder of Tumblr.

I'm a big fan of Marco! We link to Overcast in our web feeds and such.
