Comments and Reviews
I've tried many podcast apps on both iOS and Windows Mobile. Overcast is simply the best. It has an easy-to-use, elegant, interface. It takes out silence to save time, and it has a very impressive audio filter to make podcasts easier to hear. I recently switched from iOS to Windows 10 Mobile, and Overcast in the one app that I miss using.
"Since Overcast is a one-person company that can't possibly review and monitor all known podcasts for spam, adult content, hate speech, and other problematic, controversial, or illegal material, Overcast uses the human-reviewed Apple Podcasts directory as its filter for what should be included in search results and recommendations."
A small caution for parents –– the podcast directory in Overcast includes adult content.

very well designed and powerful podcast player
Offers more pitch adjusted playback speeds than iOS Podcasts app
Love it! - Now there is also now I can also use it on my computer on the web!
This app is fantastic for all things podcast related. The smart speed feature has saved me 19 hours [separate from speed settings] since I started using it about 2 years ago (you can find this number in settings).
Also voice boost is a must. I listen mostly to podcasts with interviews. Without voice boost it is impossible to hear both parties comfortably in places like the shower or car. Overcast makes listening to these podcasts possible for my routine.
Smart playlists are great. As is the ability to upload your own audio to overcast.fm and integrate non-podcasted audio into the same listening workflow.
