   Man, Shift Jelly really screwed the pooch with the latest Pocket Casts update. They've killed several features that were very important to power users (and, considering it's a paid app, I imagine most users are power users) and are suggesting bringing them back will be difficult or impossible with their new backend. So...dang. I listen to a lot of podcasts and interacted with the app dozens of times a day. And now I'm leaving for a different app simply to retain those features that were so key.

      @ink_slinger Which #podcasts do you follow? Anything not from the US?

         @mpjgregoire Lots, and quite a few are Canadian, though most are American, I think. Remind me tomorrow and I can send you a list or even export my OMPL file for you.

               @mpjgregoire Here you go. I've put an asterisk beside all of the Canadian ones. A number of those are specifically about Alberta or Edmonton, which may not be of interest to you, but I've included them anyway for the sake of completeness.

                  @ink_slinger Thanks. I'm not sure how you keep up with 53 #podcasts

                  You might be interested in looking at https://www.thepodcastbrowser.com/ for particularly interesting episodes from a mix of different podcasts.

                     @mpjgregoire I don't, entirely. I have auto cleanup settings that keep only the last 3-5 episodes of most of my subscriptions. If I don't get to it before it's purged, I don't listen to it.

                     I make exceptions for a few of my favourites, plus the ones that tell serialized stories (whether fiction or not). I probably should keep better track of which ones I don't listen to regularly and just unsubscribe.

         You may like Paul Nijjar's list of Waterloo Region podcasts: http://pnijjar.freeshell.org/2014/wr-podcasts/ Especially helpful is his classification system ("Functional", "Defective", "Defunct", "Unsubscribable")

            I have an OPLM file of those, only a little out-of-date (OPML from September, Paul updated his list earlier this week) https://sobac.com/nextcloud/s/CYmTdrxcidciz8S
