Rambling:
The number one feature for me is the ability to playback at 2x. I got fed up with the apple app because it was constantly getting ****ed up on managing downloads and remembering which episodes were already listened to.
I tried stitcher but it is really bad at managing old episodes (there are certain podcasts where I want to keep some episodes and replay them). It also injects ads between episodes.
Overcast is great because I can set the playback speed on a per-podcast basis (this was another beef I had with the apple app, I listen to some discussion podcasts and some music ones, so switching constantly between speeds was a huge pain). The only complaint I have so far is that I can't set the default behavior for what to do with played episodes on a per-podcast basis (some I want to delete after hearing, some I don't). This was one area where apple got it right. When you hear an episode in apple, even if you have that channel set to delete heard episodes, it actualy just marks the episode for deletion and gives you 24 hours to manually override, which is perfect.
