I'm looking for a preferably non-web wrapper podcast player for Windows, that's preferably also open source. Having a tough time though. Any tips?

Pocketcasts has a app(read:web wrapper) for Windows if someone has their Plus variant. But sadly, subscription model for podcasts is useless way to go.

Ah see I was grandfathered in as a lifetime member from before it was purchased by NPR and then sold off...

At some point I'll probably switch to something like AntennaPod, but it's just such a great UX.

Always nice to meet a fellow grandfather.

In forcing myself to use open source. Antenna pod is the best in that category but man does it lack most of what pocketcast can do.

Yeah I don't really get why I should pay like $20, or even more, yearly, for a service that just serves free podcasts, and where the money doesn't go to the creators at all. I like sync.. but that doesn't justify the price.
