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
- Behind the Bastards
- Darknet Diaries
- The Daily
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”.
Eww. Already overwhelmed with such tales from random internet read. More cozy is Soft Voice for mW.
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.
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 😬
AntennaPod doesn’t have any in-app ads, but the podcasts you listen to will still have them.
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.
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:
- Kill James Bond
- 538
- possibly This Day in Esoteric Political History, but those shows are really short.
Top 3 on antennapod:
- Crime Junkie
- And then they were gone
- True Crime Couple
-
Revolutions

Aristoteleen kantapää
Where’s the feature in AntennaPod? I’ve only found the total numbers
-
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.
- Srsly Wrong
- Maintenance Phase
- If Books Could Kill
Behind the Bastards The Daily Zeitgeist Factually!
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
