I’ve switched to Podverse recently, how’s Pocketcasts wrt podcasting 2.0 features? Life streaming badges, chapters, sats streaming, boosting etc?

I have to say, Podverse was rough some months ago but it’s improving very fast. I have the feeling they are more friendly towards the decentralized nature of podcasting whereas NPR may have mixed motivation.

It’s important to choose wisely imho, the once quite open podcast ecosystem is being gobbled up by YT and Spotify at an alarming rate.

I emailed the Pocketcasts dev team 2 years ago, and they said then that they had no plans to implement any podcasting 2.0 features.

I don't know about all of these features, but PocketCasts definitely has Chapter support, and has had it for a long time.
