icon Escapepod is a straightforward and lightweight app that takes a minimalistic approach to podcast listening, which may not appeal to everyone. The app consists of only two screens: a list of all podcasts and a list of episodes for a single podcast. Escapepod lacks a podcast discovery feature, offering only a simple search option. Additionally, it opens RSS podcast links when tapped in a web browser.

CAN ESCAPEPOD KEEPS MORE THAN TWO EPISODES?
