Podcast Player - Arvocast

Being menu-bar based is a great idea, because it means you can get to the Back button quickly. (This is also better than floating UI, because it doesn't obscure other things you are doing.) But there are problems: - the "notch" that's common on Macs interferes with the menubar UI, making the Back button magically disappear - there's no way to list episodes in chronological order, which makes it hard to listen to them in the order they were released; there are two sorting choices, "Alphabetical" and "Episode Release," but neither of those results in actual release order (the devs obviously assume that Alphabetical will produce that order, but that fails for many reasons) - there's no convenient way to clear the "Up Next" playlist -- you have to right-click and then remove each item individually It's also silly to be expected to pay a subscription for an app like this. It's not like Arvocast is a platform that hosts and streams podcasts. This should be a one-time purchase.

Fantastic app, except with latest update on latest Monterey MacOs, there are no thumbnails on any pocast, just a gray generic icon. Kind of a drag to find what you want without that. Hope it's fixed soon!
