I've never heard of antennapod. How do ads work on it? Does it work well connecting to car Bluetooth? 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.

I listened to an absolute shitload of 1upsmanship, but iHeart didn't renew :(

Other podcasts I listened to were Fake Doctors Real Friends (except during the strike), Behind the Bastards, Even More News, What A Day, and I've recently started Dungeons and Daddies and I'm fucking loving it.

I also gave Your Favorite Band Sucks a shot, but I really can't recommend it other than their episode on The Beatles. That one was so good that it made me want to know what they had to say about other bands I like, but they just came off as pretentious non-conformists who were bitterly jealous of the bands' success, fame, and popularity. Their credibility as supposedly knowledgeable music experts went out the window when they said that Pearl Jam sucks, but Limp Bizkit and Creed are good. Everybody is entitled to opinions and preferences, but I expected more objectivity from a podcast that seemed to be aiming to challenge me to think critically about my music tastes and who I should give my money to. Telling me that Eddie Vedder can't sing isn't stating a fact or even a decent argument to begin to make to somebody who enjoys listening to him sing. I've ranted for too long about these guys here, but I just wanted to provide some supporting evidence to back up my claim that their podcast sucks. If only they did the same in their quest to explain how and why various bands suck... 🤔

Behind the Police is a good, limited run that everybody should listen to. I think it's only 6 episodes long and original aired in summer 2020 😬

According to Antennapod:

• In Our Time
• Thinking Allowed
• Revolutions

However, I was listening to a LOT of Philosophize This prior to switching to Antennapod, so I expect that that would really take first place.

Sean Carroll's Mindscape

The History Of Rock Music in 500 Songs

What The Fuck Is Going On with Mark Steel

Top 3 on antennapod:

• Crime Junkie
• And then they were gone
• True Crime Couple

Knowledge Fight! Pretty much the only I regularly listen to. It's two friends listening to Alex Jones. The premise is that one of them knows nothing about the insane stuff Alex Jones spouts and the other one has researched it and kinda shows it to Jordan (the one who knows nothing about Alex). They are hundreds of episodes and the show is still as funny and informative as day one.

• Lateral with Tom Scott (game show about random and obscure trivia, heavily inspired by QI)

• Beautiful/Anonymous with Chris Gethard (hour long phone conversations with anonymous callers, it can get either super deep and emotional or just batshit insane)

• A Bit Fruity with Matt Bernstein (queer politics and culture)

• Linux Unplugged
• Linux Lads
• Linux After Dark
• Linux Downtime
• Linux Matters
• Linux Userspace
• Linux Actio News
• Linux + Open Source News, by TLE
• Late Night Linux
• Coder Radio
• 2.5 Admins
• Traceroute
• Darknet Diaries
• Tech over Tea
• The Homelab Show
• Selfhosted
• FriendsPerSecond

Anyone see a pattern? 🙃

I just switched to Antennapod, so I don't have data from this year yet. I would guess my top three were:

• Kill James Bond
• 538
• possibly This Day in Esoteric Political History, but those shows are really short.

Blowback.

If you want to know about the history of American wars and interventions, that is the best podcast by far.

• Knowledge fight
• Qanon Anonymous
• God Awful Movies

Well There's Your Problem
Black Box Down
This Podcast Will Kill You

Apparently, I like listening to stories about death and disaster

• Revolutions

• History Of The Great War

• Aristoteleen kantapää

Where's the feature in AntennaPod? I've only found the total numbers

1. Behind the Bastards
2. Blowback

I didn't listen to any other podcasts because there's enough in these series to fill my work time and induce a rabid research of the topics discussed.

• Click Here • Ask Noah Show • Linux Unplugged • Self Hosting • Darknet Diaries • The Privacy and Security OSINT show.

Last Podcast on the Left

Someplace Under Neith

Fraudsters

Behind the Bastards The Daily Zeitgeist Factually!

The History of WWII podcast from Ray Harris JR

Myths and legends podcast from Jason Weiser

Levar Burton Reads from Levar Burton

I use Google podcasts for the first and podcast addict for the other two. But these were all marathoned when I didn't have an audiobook to listen to while I'm at work, so they weren't consistently listened to through the year

Ologies with Alie Ward

Making It - Bob Clagett (I Like to Make Stuff on youtube), Jimmy Diresta (on youtube), David Picciuto (Make Anything on youtube) discuss their projects, being a maker, being on youtube, etc.

Safety Third - William Osman (on youtube), Allen Pan (on youtube), Kevin (Backyard Scientist on youtube), and guests (supposed to be Nigel of NileRed, but he never shows up). Nominally, they talk about being science youtubers, but it descends into chaos pretty rapidly.

A podcast of 3 of my friends just shooting the shit, being morons to each other.

• Tuesdays with Stories!
• We might be Drunk (Weekly epsiodes)
• IDKAT with Jim Jeffries (probably)

• Blindboy
• Weird Studies
• Feel Better Live More

99pi. I started from the beginning two years ago, and now I am just 40 or so episodes behind.

• Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend
• Canadaland
• Invisible Choir

A mixture of comedy, news and true crime, all on Podcast Addict.

1. No Such Thing As A Fish
2. For F1's Sake
3. F1: Chequered Flag

Conspiracy Theories, a Spotify Original From Parcast

The Skeptics Guide to the Universe was my top for this year.

The Glass Cannon

The Daily Beans

Behind the Bastards

5-4 - learned a lot about how much the supreme Court socks.

How Did This Get Made - I have laughed out loud listening to every episode I've ever listened to of this podcast.

Drum Tower - art, history, current events lend a look into China presented by correspondents in China, Taiwan and SE Asia.

According to pocket casts I listened to a ton of No Such Thing As A Fish. I would say my next best is This American Life but apparently I only actually listened to 2 episodes? I think I unconsciously transitioned to listening to mostly audiobooks this year

5-4 You're Wrong About (listening to back catalog) Planet Money

I don't use antennapod, but at a guess mine would be:

• DF direct
• Selfhosted
• Critical Role

Sold a Story

I think I listened only one podcast.

It's finnish. It's about a woman who decided to be an self-sustaining mother (not to be mixed with single parent) and her thoughts and research between before and after getting the child.

• Fall of Civilisations
• The Thing About Austen
• Revolutions

Maybe I'm just a dummy. I can't figure out where antennapod tells you this?

• Distractible
• Cartoon Dumpster Dive
• SCP: Simply Creative People

I mostly listened to:

• Behind the Bastards
• Cautionary Tales
• Knowledge Fight
• Search Engine
• The Dollop
• Swindled
• Pod Save America

To a lesser extent:

• Lions led by Donkeys
• Slow Burn
• Stuff they don’t want you to know

As I list these out I realize none of the podcasts have a very happy theme.

• Science Friday
• Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine
