This little podcast app looks and feels simple. Yet is sophisticated where it matters. For example, Spacecast automatically detects and skips sponsored sections in episodes, so you can listen without interruptions. Your home screen? Always clean, always AI-free. Just your podcast feed, in pure chronological order. That means you’ll never miss an episode — or feel overwhelmed trying to catch up. Give it a spin. I think you'll love it. I hope it brings you as much joy as I had building it. - Robin. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Lunarcast – Podcasts Your Way, No BS I'm just a guy who loves these shows: Moonshots, Lex Fridman, Innermost Loop... but I hate algorithm spam. So I built this app for myself—simple, clean, zero suggestions. Only the feeds you pick, updated instantly. It starts with: • Moonshots (Peter Diamandis' big ideas) • Lex Fridman (deep, no-fluff talks) • Innermost Loop (Alex Wissner-Gross' AI speedruns) • Bonus: Every Elon Musk podcast interview out there—in one place, no hunting. Offline downloads, fast playback, no ads. It's a labor of love—started as my own fix, now friends use it too. Not here to get rich; just wanna share something useful. If you dig podcasts without the noise, grab it. Got bugs? Feature ideas? Hit me up—I'll tweak it if folks care. Your feed. Your rules.
