I’ve been using PocketCasts for years now. Now that my kids are getting into listening to podcasts, I’m looking into centrialized self-hosted podcast catcher that can support multiple users. Any recommendations?

Podfetch might suit your needs.
I’ve used both podfetch and the project it’s based on podgrab. They do well enough but in the end what worked best for me and sounds like what’s best for op is audiobookshelf.
Hmm. AntennaPod supports syncing with Next loud via a Gpodder’s API, if each kid gets its own next loud account it should work fine
This is what I do. It is super effective.
Airsonic on the server and then Ultrasonic for Android clients would be my recommendation. With Airsonic you can setup music, podcasts, and radio stations. And it supports multiple users and gives you really good control over what each user can access.
Ahh this sounds awesome! Would be nice to put a bunch of MP3s in a folder and be able stream them!
Yeah, that’s what I use it for, I have access to my entire 200GB+ music collection no matter where I am and it has some other cool features too. Like radio mode where it will play similar artists. It’s pretty sweet, if you are going to try it then I would suggest the linuxserver.io/airsonic-advanced docker image.
I have been using audiobookshelf for some time. This supports multiple users and offers native mobile clients with offline functionality. Also, the playback progress is synchronized on all clients.
Audiobookshelf supports podcasts and multiple users.
Just a few days ago i finally added my podcasts to my Aufiobookshelf instance and i’m kicking myself for waiting so long to do it.
Yeah I only hopped on it a few days ago. Grabbed it because I started a new job with a long commute and wanted something better than Plex for audiobooks. Decided to migrate my podcasts too while I was at it and love it so far.
