Where are the push notifications originating from? Does Overcast have a cloud service that polls the RSS feeds and then sends the notification? I use AntennaPod on Android, and it definitely doesn't do anything like that -- the feed list is stored locally, and the feeds are polled locally.

Yeah, Overcast has a service written in Go that polls RSS feeds and then use iOS push notifications to send new episodes to clients.
