Onion Podcasts

What Onion Podcasts is

Onion Podcasts is a podcast platform for finding, following, and organizing shows, with live radio in the same player. Listeners can browse by category, language, or trending topics and search titles, descriptions, and categories in three languages. Public episodes can be played without an account, and users can make and share playlists. The service is available on the web and Android. Its Android app supports unlimited downloads with no expiry and no account requirement, while the web player streams episodes. Android 7 or later is supported; there is no iOS app yet. Creators can host and publish podcasts for free, without a monthly fee or expiring trial. Each podcast gets an open RSS feed, while paid subscribers can use private feeds in other podcast apps. Creators can set up to three subscription tiers, with payments going to their own Stripe account, and attach up to 10 extras per episode, including documents, videos, audio, notes, and links. The creator page says unusually large archives may eventually need a paid plan. Onion says most personal data is stored on Hetzner servers in Germany and is not sold or rented for commercial or advertising purposes.
