Podium is an Android podcast application designed around a modern Material 3 Expressive interface. It allows users to discover podcasts through a catalog powered by Apple Podcasts. Users can subscribe to their favorite shows and organize podcasts or individual episodes into custom lists. Episodes can be downloaded manually for offline listening. An automatic downloading feature retrieves new episodes from subscribed podcasts. Android Auto integration makes it possible to listen through compatible vehicle infotainment systems. Podium supports synchronization of subscriptions and playback states through gpodder.net and Nextcloud-gpodder. Built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, it emphasizes a native Android experience. The application remains under active development, with some essential features still incomplete.
