I'm not a total fan of the updated Podcasts app on iOS 14, in terms of the new UI/UX, specifically the melange of Listen Now / Up Next, Latest Episodes and Recently Played.
I may get used to it, and/or Apple may update it further in an iOS 14 fix pack ....
Meantime, I'm tinkering with Overcast, and needed to find a way to export my huge array of podcasts from the Apple app.
Now that we live in a post-iTunes world, the options to export the podcasts from the app appears to have gone ....
Happily, this post did the trick: -
Exporting podcasts from iOS app as OPML
providing a rather useful little Bash script.
TBH I had not realised that macOS keeps its podcasts in a SQLite database: -
ls -al ~/Library/Group\ Containers/243LU875E5.groups.com.apple.podcasts/Documents/
total 65824
drwxr-xr-x@ 7 hayd staff 224 21 Sep 12:28 .

-rw-r--r--@ 1 hayd staff 33411072 21 Sep 12:28 MTLibrary.sqlite

-rw-r--r--@ 1 hayd staff 236 21 Sep 12:28 upnext_items.data
and the Bash script allowed me to export that to an Outline Processor Markup Language (OPML) file: -

which I exported to iCloud Drive, and then opened it directly into Overcast using the Share button on my iPhone.
Nice!
