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.
