I come from Android, i used Antennapod which was a really solid and intuitive open source podcast app. Ideally id like to find something similar.
I find Apple Podcasts app to have pretty poor ui/ux, too cluttered, too many taps to get to where I want to be.
I like pocket cast because if I don’t like an episode I can just click the checkbox and it’s marked played and moves on. Overcast doesn’t have that

It absolutely does and has had it for as long as I’ve used it (since 2018).
On CarPlay though?
No idea, I don’t use CarPlay very often.
