Please, for your sanity, spend some time setting up an RSS reader with sources you trust. Social media was never a good way to get the news, and it's only going to get worse.
I recommend Readwise, Inoreader, NetNewsWire, Reeder, and Feedly. I also use @flipboard.com as a supplementary algo feed.

They also have 'exclusive' podcasts; so, if you want to listen to 'From the Oasthouse', for example, you have to have an account with Audible. It's like having to buy a different radio for each station you want to listen to!
Along come the podcast platforms, trying to insert themselves as 'middle men' in this. They want information about you (Spotify wants your date of birth!), and may also want payment.
For podcasts, podcatching software is the equivalent of a radio receiver; pasting in an RSS feed lets you 'tune in' to the podcast you want to listen to. Again, there's no need to give any information, or make any payment.

Ever heard of White Pages app?
As a society we must find a way to communicate truth and facts to the younger generations. It seems our survival depends on it.
Must reach “L I V” (Low Information Voters)
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Here’s a thought:
Every young person out there with a cell phone and a podcast is, in effect, a local newsfeed. They could video/record and publish school board meetings, chamber of commerce meetings, PTA meetings, etc,
Engage young’uns !
My tiny mind can’t come up with ideas for society’s larger problems. And I treat those who do have well thought out solutions with contempt. Armed with only contemptuous outrage, I can get a network (ahem! CNN) to interview me to get the “opposition viewpoint.” Works every time.
It was just a thought. You make a good point.
On the other hand, the opposition party has a network of broadcasters who have no journalistic code of ethics, and can say anything, usually untruths.
Something has to counterbalance that.
There has to be a source of facts & truth.
