Podcasting apps good for a FireTV? (lemmy.world)

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?

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.

    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.
