Podcasting apps.

Hi all. Currently, I'm using Downcast, which I generally like, except for one thing. There's no way to set it, that I can find, to prompt you on deletion of podcasts. So if I'm in the podcasts table on a podcast, and I accidentally bump the giant delete key, blam! There goes whatever podcast I was in the middle of listening to, and I have to go resubscribe. So is there a way to get it to prompt for deletion, or maybe change the shortcut to cmd-delete or something? If not, anybody feel like recommending a podcast app? I don't really like Apple's. I picked Downcast because that's also what I'm using on iOS, whenever I listen on it. Ideally I'd just like a way to make Downcast prompt, it does for other things, e.g. if I delete local episodes. It's just that, for some reason, it doesn't prompt on podcasts. I know some people like Castro, not sure if it's on Mac, I tried it very briefly on iOS and wasn't a fan, I don't need AI stuff or sorted short lists, I just need a list of the podcasts I've subscribed to with episodes. I can't remember if I ever tried Overcast or not, again not sure if it's also on Mac. I think the only other big feature I use is listening at a faster speed, but i assume everything has that by this point. Also setting download path, but again, I assume everything can do that. Thanks in advance for any help.
