I’ve finally purchased and switched to Pocket Casts on my phone. In a week or two I’ll write up a comparison of it to Google Play Music for podcast listening but I’m pretty sure anything will be better than GPM.

@cdevroe been a long time user of PocketCast, even on iOS where it has a lot of competition. But overall user experience & feature list wise, it has to be the best.
On Android, could never find any option that came close.
@amit I used to use it heavily, but as the list grew, Castro become my default podcatcher (are they even called that anymore?) of choice.
@kaa Yes, every now and then I keep going back to Overcast and Castro. Even though I like some features those 2 offer, for me personal I prefer the user experience with PocketCasts.
Regarding longer lists, yeah that’s a problem. Not experience wise, but in terms of time at hand - just not enough.
@stefp Exactly, assumption that a user either wants every episode from a podcast automatically downloaded or wants none is so misguided. The belief, it seems, is one would never decide whether to download an episode, manually only when it arrives. Well I do, for every episode.
@adiabatic Thanks. I’ll give it another try.
