Just curious what are the top 3 podcasts you listened to this year on whatever platform. Antennapod released a feature that summarized your year and well the amount of hours kinda surprised me in a good way, haha.

Edit: Mine were

The let's read podcast
Therapy gecko
How To Survive

How do ads work on it?

Antennapod is essentially an MP3 player app for Android which downloads the MP3 files it finds in podcast feeds. If the MP3 file contains ads, those will be played (but you can skip them). If there are no ads in the file, there are no ads.

Does it work well connecting to car Bluetooth?

I think it supports Android Auto.

My wife signed up for duo Spotify, so I'm wondering if there's any reason to switch since we're already paying for that either way.

Spotify does not really have podcasts, in the technical sense. Spotify simply decided to usurp the word, but use it for "internet on-demand streaming radio show gated with accounts and DRM" rather than "downloadable audio file discovered via RSS feed file".

In any case, Antennapod is free, as is almost the entire regular podcast universe.

Thanks! I always download my podcasts while on Wi-Fi anyway because we're on Google Fi. This way, our phone bill for two is usually under $60/month since we don't use much data.

Since it's free, there's no reason for me to not try it out!
