Time to get out of Google Podcasts for anyone that is still using the service.

I guess. I don't know what I would do without the desktop app and the cloud storage though. I just log in somewhere and everything is synced up and working.

It depends on your usage, for sure. For me, I'm more on the side of not seeing much there that's valuable enough to subscribe to, though I'd probably pay a few bucks for the app just to support them. I think that if you're happy with Google Podcasts, though, you'll be happy with Pocket Casts without a subscription. It's not like you have to pay for basic functionality, like downloading or queuing episodes, which is the evil version of the subscription model.
