What podcasts did you listen to the most this year
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
What will Darknet Diaries give me?
True stories from the dark side of the Internet
This is a podcast about hackers, breaches, shadow government activity, hacktivism, cybercrime, and all the things that dwell on the hidden parts of the network.
Darknet Diaries is an investigative podcast created by Jack Rhysider (/riːˈsaɪdər/), chronicling true stories about crackers, malware, botnets, cryptography, cryptocurrency, cybercrime, and Internet privacy, all subjects falling under the umbrella of "tales from the dark side of the Internet".
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 😬
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!
AntennaPod is great. It's open source and has everything you need. The only ads are whatever the podcast has in them, but you can skip forward past them. I also pay for Spotify, but I still use AntennaPod for podcasts.
According to Antennapod:
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.
Blowback.
If you want to know about the history of American wars and interventions, that is the best podcast by far.
Sean Carroll's Mindscape
The History Of Rock Music in 500 Songs
What The Fuck Is Going On with Mark Steel
I just switched to Antennapod, so I don't have data from this year yet. I would guess my top three were:
Top 3 on antennapod:
Behind the Bastards The Daily Zeitgeist Factually!
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.
Something about the McElroy's comedic style is perfect for me. And I've been watching MKBHD almost since he started on YouTube.
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.
The Formulaic Objections episodes are fantastic. Somebody made a Spotify playlist of them and the trial recaps.
Thank you for providing a starting point! Jumping into a long-running show can be daunting. I’m going to check this one out.
Anyone see a pattern? 🙃
You subscribed to the first 15 things that pop up when you search for "Linux"? :D
not quite ahaha, im just a big fan on linux related content :P
Way more than 3, lol.
Haha opsi..
Where's the feature in AntennaPod? I've only found the total numbers
Last Podcast on the Left
Someplace Under Neith
Fraudsters
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.
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
Google podcasts is shutting down, just FYI.
Ologies with Alie Ward
Well There's Your Problem
Black Box Down
This Podcast Will Kill You
Apparently, I like listening to stories about death and disaster
You might like some episodes of cautionary tales with Tim harford. Quite a few are about engineering oopsies with big consequences.
• Click Here • Ask Noah Show • Linux Unplugged • Self Hosting • Darknet Diaries • The Privacy and Security OSINT show.
A shame the privacy and security osint show is no longer gonna be producing podcasts.. Not indefinite though, so one can hope he comes back 🤞
A mixture of comedy, news and true crime, all on Podcast Addict.
5-4 You're Wrong About (listening to back catalog) Planet Money
I don't use antennapod, but at a guess mine would be:
According to pocket casts:
Not sure why 3 and 4 are mixed up 🤷♀️ but I did enjoy my time with each!
Similar to mine!
-Fuckface
-Facejam
-Serious Trouble
-MBMBAM
-ANMA
The Skeptics Guide to the Universe was my top for this year.
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.
History of philosophy without any gaps
Sold a Story
The WAN Show
Shaping Fire
Conspiracy Theories, a Spotify Original From Parcast
Maybe I'm just a dummy. I can't figure out where antennapod tells you this?
I don't see it either.
You need to update the app if you don't do that automatically.
You need the latest update, then it shows up as a card on the home screen of the app.
I struggled with finding it as well, as I have the Queue-screen as my root screen.
Thanks. I had to set home as my default page and then it showed up
99pi. I started from the beginning two years ago, and now I am just 40 or so episodes behind.
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.
I've watched so much mech anime this year...
The Glass Cannon
The Daily Beans
Behind the Bastards
Knowledge Fight Omnibus! The Villain Was Right Penn's Sunday School
Not much of a podcaster. I only listen to Toni and Ryan. They’re hilarious.
I've tried out quite a few, but the ones I've stuck with are:
Destination Linux: I haven't listened to it in a whule because I barely have any time left for it, but it can often be very interesting and educational.
Tech over Tea: It's an Interview-style podcast where Brodie Robertson, a well-known Linux YouTuber, interviews a member of the Open Source community, usually a developer, about their project and you could often get some interesting insights into the life and responsibilities of an open source developer, as well as some interesting stories during development and insights into what the future of the project might look like.
Are those podcasts any good for Linux noobs? I recently bought a used Steam Deck and love the OS so much that I'm considering building a beefy Chimera OS desktop to rival my PS5 in the living room and also replace my 2015 gaming laptop. I'm hesitant because I haven't seen much info on how Chimera does outside of gaming since I still want to be able to also do standard browsing and stream TV/movies.
I don't know much about programming, so I'm a little nervous about where to start with making sure I'm prepared for troubleshooting Linux issues that I know I'll encounter. I did okay with Windows issues but I've heard nothing but complaints about 11.
You can watch them but they aren't made to be educational, so if you're looking for educational content, I'd say DL is okay, while Tech over Tea, while it is my favorite, is not exactly a channel used to learn about Linux. If you want to learn Linux as a career, I'd point to Learn Linux TV. Learning about Linux for general usage, I'd recommend CTT, DistroTube, InfinitelyGalactic, OldTechBloke, and The Linux Experiment.
Linux Unplugged and Selfhosted are the podcasts I started to listen to when getting into Linux. Otherwise I posted a full list of other Linux podcasts that I like in the comments 👍
Jung & naiv And Aufwachen Podcast
Are the best ones.- but they are german
Für mich: Logbuch Netzpolitk, Lage der Nation, UKW, Raumzeit, Forschergeist, Hoaxilla. DAS PODCAST UFO, Stay Forever und "WTFM 100, Null" für's Entertainment. Aber Jung & Naiv ist auch super. Tilo auf der Bundespressekonferenz ist immer ein highlight.
Poorhammer is the only podcast i listen to
Shut up and sit down, funniest board game podcast
Omnibus. Ten Percent Happier. Madigan's Pubcast.
I haven't listened to many podcasts lately, so this will be over the past couple years.
