+1 for the Xbox controller. I got a telescoping controller for Xmas last year. I used it a bunch but the ergonomics were all wrong and I started getting persistent pains in my left hand. Switched to an Xbox controller I already had and the pain went away almost immediately.

I landed on Podcast Addict. It was similar enough for me to switch pretty easily.

When Stitcher shut down I briefly considered this app as an alternative but I said, no. These guys can’t be trusted to stick around. So no surprise here but thanks clamman for sharing it.
