Wherever you get your podcast moves the power from the company hosting the content to the company indexing the content. These days that means a voice assistant that you use while driving. Any pretention otherwise is a tired case of technoutopianism.

Try saying "play breaking points podcast" to Google voice assistant. It worked a few times. Now it's broken beyond recognition

- goes to spotify, plays music

- "with Google podcast" plays an unrelated podcast called "breaking point" (singular)

- add "with Krystal and Saagar", plays an old episode of Joe Rogan

I have to pull over, find it manually and play.
