Question: Is there a free podcast app that allows me to search for podcasts and episodes by name or keyword?

If you're looking for a free podcast app that lets you search for podcasts and episodes by name or keyword, Podurama is a good choice. It indexes more than 2 million podcasts and millions of episodes on iOS, Android, Web, Windows and macOS. Its search is powerful, and it's got features like favorites, bookmarks and recommendations to personalize your experience. It's designed to let you listen anywhere, with features like syncing and offline playback. It's free to use, but premium features let you pay for ad-free listening and other perks.

Another interesting app is Snipd, which uses AI to try to make your podcast listening more productive. It creates searchable transcripts, chapter markers and summaries so you can find and bookmark parts of your favorite shows. You can export highlights to note-taking apps, and it's got AI-powered search and summaries. It's free to use, but premium subscriptions pay for more AI abilities and support for more than 500,000 podcasts.

If you want quick access to the most important moments in podcasts, Scribbler offers AI-created summaries, full transcripts and an on-demand option to request summaries. It's got natural language search and a conversational interface so you can ask questions or get answers. Scribbler offers a free tier with access to its library and some other features, but you can pay for a subscription to get more.
