Podcast Addict

Podcast Addict is a premier podcast management application designed for Android devices, offering users a comprehensive platform to subscribe to, download, and listen to podcasts, radio stations, and audiobooks. Originally developed in Lyon, France, the application was founded by Xavier Guillemane, who managed the app as an independent developer for over a decade. The app became one of the most downloaded podcast managers on the Google Play Store, known for its deep customization options and technical features.

In 2024, the brand and its infrastructure were acquired by Acast, a prominent Swedish-based global podcast company. This acquisition integrated Podcast Addict into one of the world's largest independent podcast ecosystems. While the app continues to operate as a consumer-facing tool, its ownership shifted from an independent French developer to a corporate entity headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, as part of Acast's strategy to expand its listener reach and technical capabilities.
