This started with wanting to share my podcast list so...
Current Podcast App: Pocket Casts ($4)
I liked the app from the start, so I haven't actually tried any others. Check slant.co or alternativeto.net for free options. If you have a good podcast app, you shouldn't need the links I posted below, which is one reason why I just linked to the shows' main pages where available.
