I was like that too, but RSS feeds are great. Try AntennaPod.
Try AntennaPod.
I don't have a cell phone. And it wouldn't make any sense to setup Android Studio just to listen to a few podcasts.
RSS feeds are great.
Honestly, I don't listen to enough podcasts to justify using an RSS reader. Most podcasters have not figured out that they are entertainers first-and-foremost, so most podcasts are a chore to listen to. But, I give an exception to my friends, because I'm more interested in keeping up with them than being entertained.

Do you find that AntennaPod is more useful than just dropping files into a directory? Just curious because that's what I'm doing now.
reply
Yes. I used to drop files in a directory and they would be transferred to my phone with Syncthing, then I would listen to them using an audiobook listener app that had all the properties I wanted from an audio player.
Then I found out that AntennaPod has all these same properties and it's cheaper, faster, leaner, prettier, and the fact that it fetches the episodes automatically for me is good, not bad as I originally thought. Also having each episode metadata and just having them organized overall is really good.
