@johnjohnston Yep, unfortunately (??) I managed to delete all my subscriptions while I was trying to see what was wrong - but since my subscriptions were getting out of hand it could be blessing in disguise. But yep, I'm also looking for a backup app and I'm going to keep an OPML file around.

So far Overcast and Podcasts are on the no-go list, I'm kind of doubtful of Pocket Casts (but I could be wrong), currently DownCast is the only one on the maybe list.
