Well, why are we not coding on laptops from 1994?

The user interface can be wildly different.

Pocket casts changed recently but oh how I lived the old ui. Spotify had nothing on it.

Haven't had a reason to download Spotify since even though I haven't liked all the changes in the new pocket casts.

I believe (though I'm not sure) that AntennaPod is closer to the old Pocket Casts UI (but not as polished):

Your snarky response isn't helpful. You've only said "it's different" and dismissed Spotify while also not giving any reasons why you dislike it.

I don't dislike it. I'm happy with my podcast player and don't want two of them since I want to keep using the one with the interface I like.

Other things than the pure content matter. It's not irrelevant.
