How cool is that?! AntennaPod creates a summary and stats of my year listening to podcasts directly on my device without sending it to the cloud!
My year 2024 in podcasts.
Here’s my results from PocketCasts. Niche AF I’m guessing
I think my ADHD shines through with podcasts, I start listening to the first 10 mins then drown out whatever they are talking about and then just give up listening. It’s a shame because there are many podcasts out there id like to listen to.
I don’t have ADHD, but I have the same with reading books. I can read articles in a newspaper, but once I take a book into my hands I fall asleep.
What is the Home Assistant podcast like? More developer focused or end user or what?
It’s end user focused, they have different segments like going through the monthly release notes and talking about them a bit from their perspective and they have often guests. The guests sometimes are random users with a interesting setup and they talk about that setup where you can get a lot of ideas. Other times they invite some of the developers or project managers from the project to talk about some new features or plans.
I recommend all of these, but it’s not a real summary. I’ve hopped around to many different apps since stitcher died. I like Antenna pod, but I switched to Podverse for a little bit before coming back to Antenna Pod. Iirc, Podverse did the queues better, but only if they had properly added support for the specific podcast. I lik Audio fiction, which means I’m constantly looking for new shows. So I encountered a lot that weren’t fully supported yet, got frustrated and switched back to Antenna Pod. I’ve gotten into the habit now of adding a podcast to the queue season by season, and it works ok.
And bonus, if you like Audio fiction, follow https://www.theend.fyi/ to find recommendations. It’s great!
Only 625 hours this year.
I came here to steal new podcasts, so I’ll leave mine as well lol
Love to see The Dollop!
By the titles I have no idea what are those podcasts about lol
The Dollop is an American history podcast. Each week…
Both that and Behind the Bastards are podcasts on history stuff. Dollop trends more towards comedy while reading about terrible things to lighten the mood. Dave reads to Gareth (most of the time) who hasn’t heard the thing before, and plays off his reactions.
Antennapod is highly underrated, even among Foss community. I have been enjoying it for 6 years and never cared for alt.
Of course it has yearly summary feature, along with hour counts etc.
Does anyone else use this with Android Auto?
Love that app, but can’t get it to resume my podcast when I get in the car. Music works fine, the old Google podcasts worked fine, but I’ve never gotten it to work with antenna pod.
I’ve been using it with Android Auto for about four months now. No problems resuming podcasts so far.
I do
Mine works. Sometimes it gives me a “recommended” podcast from my list instead of what I was listening to, but I just enter the app and go to queue and select th one at the top.
Yeah, that’s what I have to do.
Usually just binge an older podcast. I already completed HoP and HoP: Indian, Africana and Chinese, and now I’m with Citations Needed. Philosophy This only play when I accidentally start an episode lol.
It’s heavily affected by the fact that I used to listen to After the Revolution to fall asleep (in a good way! It’s a great book and Robert Evans’ voice is soothing IMO), but here’s mine:
After stitcher died I just stopped listening to podcasts for awhile. I recently found Antenna Pod on fdroid and it’s great!
Here is mine!
Are you me? Pretty much the same except with Late Night Linux added.
Currently binging the backlog as we speak. They just hit Covid lol
There’s a lot of different podcasts in the whole LNL package if you subscribed to the Ad-free feed. It’s 7 different shows and a few of them are over 200 episodes.
I listen to the Late Night Linux too lol
I’ve not heard of self hosted or ask Noah.
What are they about?
Love the self hosted podcast, they talk about various experiences they’ve had (be it good, or bad) while trying to stop relying on big tech companies. They also try to bring projects to the spotlight and help people find cool openscource solutions. They get some fun guests in there as well.
Yes , I am the type fuck corporations , and let’s support good companies. Like Valve not perfect but better than the rest.
I am very partial to valve myself, while they aren’t perfect, I am not immune to propaganda, and own 3 valve shirts.
Awesome. Thanks for the recommendation
Self hosting , Linux and Open source.
Shit, there’s a home assistant podcast? I didn’t need to know that
I listened to a ton when I bike to and from work. 40 minutes gets like 2 episodes a day, plus when I am at work
Love to see MBMBaM!
I like movies.
If you like movies I recommend checking out The Rewatchables if you haven’t already.
