I’ve tried it multiple times and never could like Overcast.
Downcast is the player of my choice and it is used daily. The layout and design are much better imo and I can control everything to my taste.
I use pocket casts. Since that's the one that worked the best when I was on Android, coming back to iPhone I was able to carry over all of my podcasts without issue.
I’ve used Overcast for a number of years now, since Apple’s redesign of the Podcasts app a few years ago actually. I find the Overcast interface to be one of its best features, as soon as I open the app I get a list of my unplayed podcasts. That for me, is probably why I haven’t felt the need to explore other podcast apps out there.
I’ve also noticed the subscription for Overcast is quite reasonably priced, or at least it seems to be, which is also an advantage, not to mention paying is optional since non of Overcast’s features really seem to be locked behind a subscription paywall.

I use it because how apple podcasts crapped over in IOS 14. something.

Have gotten used to it. Earlier, Downcast had some issue (can't recall what it was), so had switched to Overcast.
Pocket Casts.

lag
Even running the latest and greatest iDevice, I found the interface to be quite laggy and slow. This is why I primarily switched over to castro.
