To be quite honest, among all the annoyances it introduces at work, the bombardement of Slop content all over the place and the weird conversations I have with people ever since LLMs/"AI" became the magic mushroom half the population is apparently on the one thing it really ruined for me are Tech Podcasts and Tech News in general.
I physically cringe reading HN or other tech-adjacent link aggregators which is filled to the brim with astro turfing, hype trains and the next "revelation" the Big Tech firms apprently gift us at that moment.
Not a single Tech Podcast epidose that discusses the myriads of some new model, or how I can plug yet another part of my life into the slop machine of the tech overlords.

In an attempt to use my smartphone a lot less, I am currently trying Newsboat's Podcast integration and a slim script I hacked together this morning. It automatically fetches podcast episodes, downloads and pushes them to the MP3-Player I bought a few months ago for taking to the gym.
It is of course a little bit more clunky than simply using Antennapod on my smartphone, but honestly, it is a quite smooth and pleasant experience nonetheless. Let's see how this goes for a few weeks.

There is that one odd #podcast I like which is only available on #youtube, which of course can not be inserted into my podcatcher OOTB.
So I wrote a little #PHP-script which refactors youtube's #rss into podcast rss-feed and fetches audio of video-entries on-demand via #ytdlp. It is not quite finished (for example, video-descriptions as well as channel-images are not fully implemented yet), but it is already functional. I use it with @AntennaPod without any issues.
Not sure, if this is too niche, but in case anyone else has a use for that: https://codeberg.org/jayvii/yt2rss
