I've been using PocketCasts for years now. Now that my kids are getting into listening to podcasts, I'm looking into centrialized self-hosted podcast catcher that can support multiple users. Any recommendations?

Audiobookshelf supports podcasts and multiple users.

Just a few days ago i finally added my podcasts to my Aufiobookshelf instance and i'm kicking myself for waiting so long to do it.

Yeah I only hopped on it a few days ago. Grabbed it because I started a new job with a long commute and wanted something better than Plex for audiobooks. Decided to migrate my podcasts too while I was at it and love it so far.

Hmm. AntennaPod supports syncing with Next loud via a Gpodder's API, if each kid gets its own next loud account it should work fine

This sounds promising. My kids already have nextcloud accounts in my instance. Not having to fight audiobookself's lack of LDAP auth would be nice.

This is what I do. It is super effective.

I have been using audiobookshelf for some time. This supports multiple users and offers native mobile clients with offline functionality. Also, the playback progress is synchronized on all clients.

I've used both podfetch and the project it's based on podgrab. They do well enough but in the end what worked best for me and sounds like what's best for op is audiobookshelf.
