I work at home mainly and would like to be able to play podcasts from my TV (Fire TV). I tried one or two apps from the regular app store and they were crap. I also tried AntennaPod side-loaded but some functions just don’t work right. I’m trying to avoid using YouTube as well, plus fuck their dumb ads.
Before anyone says, “Use your phone,” I try to keep my phone far away while I work to avoid it distracting me. I could use it to play episodes still but then I don’t have a remote to pause or skip or adjust volume.
Any suggestions?
What about using your work computer? I think, there are many more desktop podcast apps, than TV apps
I’m not able to install most apps without prior approval but if there’s a website I can directly play from that could work. Would be preferable if I didn’t have to login to use it but it’s probably not a deal breaker. Big names like Spotify are a no-go mainly because they suck ass.
do you have an old phone sitting around? you could remove all your time sink apps and install a pod ast app there, to remove temptations.
for fireTV, look up how to install smart tube, it’s a YouTube frontend with out ads and built in sponsorblock. you will need to activate developer mode for the install.
Not the worst idea (the phone) but that is an extra device to keep track of. I would also get in trouble for plugging a phone (or some kind of drive) into my work computer so that means another cable run from an outlet…
