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”.
That seems right up my alley, I’ll subscribe to that.
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.
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.
Sean Carroll’s Mindscape
The History Of Rock Music in 500 Songs
What The Fuck Is Going On with Mark Steel
Blowback.
If you want to know about the history of American wars and interventions, that is the best podcast by far.
Top 3 on antennapod: Crime Junkie And then they were gone True Crime Couple
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.

- Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
- Canadaland
- Invisible Choir

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 🤞
Sold a Story
- 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.
- 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.
-
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)
-
Omnibus. Ten Percent Happier. Madigan’s Pubcast.
