What podcasts have you been listening to the most during the year?

I'm getting close to the bottom of my backlog on a few podcasts, so I'm looking to get something new in there.

Personally, it's been, in no particular order:

  • If Books Could Kill
  • Darknet Diaries
  • Hard Fork
  • 99% Invisible
  • The War on Cars
  • The Urbanist Agenda
  • The Climate Denier's Playbook
  • Well There's Your Problem

I'm mildly considering getting into Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here, but I'm a little bit skeptical on account of how damn much there is to be listened to in their feed.

The only podcasts I listen to are the unexpectables ones. I don't even really like DND but MontyGlu is an amazing voice actor and role player... Like you can tell she genuinely cares for her NPCs and can tell the differences in characters from the nuisance of her characters and the candor in which they speak. I haven't had much luck finding that else where. And that's ignoring the fantastic world she has built for her players.

WARK.

Castle Super Beast is what I put on for grinding in video games. Woolie Madden & Patrick Boivin from SBFP made their own podcast after dissolving the channel, and it's now been going on for about as long as their old podcast. It's about a bunch of nerd bullshit like video games, but with a slight veneer of a focus on industry news.

Always neat to see another fan of CSB/Woolie around. I haven't seen your instance name before, at least that I can remember.

funny enough, the tbfp subreddit is what actually got me onto lemmy. There was a tiny sbfp community that popped up around the blackout protest, but it faded pretty quick.

I was on the Pathfinder.social instance for a little bit until that died off too, and then hopped over to a tiny art instance called crystals.rest, and now onto the warframe instance. This one's surprisingly resilient for how niche it is!

I've been loving Tosh Show. His guests are way more interesting than listening to comedians talk to comedians all the time. Don't have any kids, so I find the bedtime stories at the end hilarious as well.

My pocket cast stats:
You've listened for 115 days 14 hours

Honorable mentions not yet seem in this thread (English only):

  • The Guardian: The Audio long read - full articles read by real people (30-45 min.)
  • Economist: Drum Tower - China correspondence about culture and politics
  • Aquired - 3h+ episodes about tech IPO and the history of companies. Sounds boring but it gives a look behind the curtain of the tech industry from the 30s to today (fun example episode: PowerPoint)
  • WNYC: On the media - Meta talk about media topics and enshittification
  • Law and Chaos - Previously on Opening Arguments, now in their own podcast: US justice topics, GOP bashing and of course: Trump

I was never a podcast person until I listened to Otherworld. It gives a platform to people to tell their paranormal stories without sensationalism or judgement. They cover a wide range of topics from hauntings to cryptids to aliens. Really cool stuff even if you're a skeptic

I wanted to finish Wheel of Time, but couldn't slog my way through all the books again, so I listened to the Dragon Re-Read. A ton of fun conversation and saved me so much time and reading.

Search Engine had been my favorite podcast in the last year or so.

Curious if anyone who has search engine has paid for incognito mode?

I'm sure people have but my guess is they're more likely to be bluesky people instead of lemmy people.

I just figured out I can see my own playback stats. For this year, my top ten in order of most played:

  • Last Podcast on the Left
  • Behind the Bastards
  • Harmontown
  • Hardcore History
  • Wizard and the Bruiser
  • That Happens
  • The Bugle
  • State of the World, NPR
  • Hood Politics with Prop
  • The Rest is Politics

I think I like your list better.
