I only use Apple Podcasts to automatically sync a couple of podcasts onto my Apple Watch. The rest of the time I use Overcast. But that Apple Watch sync feature is a compelling use case.

I primarily listen to Podcasts on my Mac, been using the default Apple one... which works, but it feels very much like a half baked copy from the iPad app.

Sadly no Overcast on Mac, anyone found a good podcast player for Mac? (paid or free)

Edit: Little things like pressing left/right arrows does nothing in the app. (just want to skip around the podcast ads). Buggy UI (as I type this, the volume slider in the app is greyed out.. but still works). Also there doesn't appear to be any timer, to stop the podcast after x minutes. (I sure it used to do this)

There is Overcast on Mac for Apple silicon devices

There is? wow. (though I'm still rock'n an Intel Mac)

Yes; you can install most iPhone/iPad software on Apple Silicon devices, since they more or less share the same core.

It's the iPad app but it works well enough on macOS
