Anyone have any suggestions for a decent linux podcast client. Doesn’t need to be fancy or anything, basically just “Download and keep the last N items in the following podcast feeds.” Extra points for cli/TUI.
gPodder is pretty simple. Link: https://gpodder.github.io/
Other than that, if you want CLI, while it’s not a podcast program, yt-dlp is pretty good for downloading them. You can filter by title, date, etc. It’s got a bit of a learning curve, tho.
Try https://github.com/manolomartinez/greg if you are interested in a minimalistic cli program.
I use AntennaPod on my phone - highly recommended.
Kasts is decent. And it integrates with gpodder, which means you can sync with mobile pretty nicely.

Audiobookshelf
Is it possible to filter the episodes to download like in antennapod?
I head about Audiobookshelf and I already use Escapepod on mobile, LMS for music (self hosted), so wondered few times about installing it too.
So can Audiobookshelf be used for clips and annotation?
I find that more and more often I listen to a podcast, it gives me an idea and I want to :
- pause
- record my idea, by speaking it aloud for e.g. 30s
- unpause to keep on listening
- review the idea later on, e.g. on my desktop, while maintaining provenance, e.g. this idea “monetization of own content creation for creators on my on-going VR project” (ideally as text at this stage, so using STT) was sparking by listening to podcast “Voices of VR episode 1226 on VR Chat and monetization” around 25min in.
Edit : just checked on their demo server and there is a
bookmarkoption. It’s just text for me, it doesn’t clip part of the audio, but it does associate some typed text to a moment in time. It might be enough for me.Probably massive overkill for OP particular, but if you wanna listen across several devices, the best option.
I’ve been using pocketcast and it works for what I need.
I’ve recently become aware of some shenanigans with the paid service, but currently works great for a basic usage
