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... π€
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 π¬
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.
AntennaPod doesn't have any in-app ads, but the podcasts you listen to will still have them.
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:
- 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.
Blowback.
If you want to know about the history of American wars and interventions, that is the best podcast by far.
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.
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
Behind the Bastards The Daily Zeitgeist Factually!
- Behind the Bastards
- 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.
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)
- The Adventure Zone
- MBMBAM
- WVFRM
Something about the McElroy's comedic style is perfect for me. And I've been watching MKBHD almost since he started on YouTube.

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

Black Box Down
This Podcast Will Kill You
Apparently, I like listening to stories about death and disaster
- Srsly Wrong
- Maintenance Phase
- If Books Could Kill
- No Such Thing As A Fish
- For F1's Sake
- F1: Chequered Flag
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.
