OneCast is genuinely free and ad-free and is very nicely designed, if you were looking for such an app.  It has everything you could want, except for an imaginary &#8216;YouTube subscriptions to MP3, then treated as podcasts&#8217;, which would get me regular shows like &#8216;Ask Lovecraft&#8217; as podcasts.  OneCast also has a feed set that discovered everything I wanted, once I learned that it doesn&#8217;t like phrases only keywords.  For instance, to find &#8216;The Lovecraft Geek&#8217; don&#8217;t search for the full name, just search for &#8216;Lovecraft&#8217; and then hunt and peck among the &#8216;Lovecraft&#8217; results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been catching up with the Monster Talk podcast from the worthy Skeptic Magazine.
