Gary saw a spike in downloads and traffic that propelled his show to the top of Apple podcast charts. While the direct impact of New and Noteworthy was small, the increased visibility helped grow his audience in a sustainable way over subsequent months.

Is There a Clear Replacement For Google Podcasts?

I've looked at a few apps to replace Google Podcasts. You can filter the results at https://podcasting2.org/apps to show Andoird. I talk about Truefans, Podvers, Podcast Guru, and Podcast Addict. No clear winner for me... how about you?
