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.

    Shit, there’s a home assistant podcast? I didn’t need to know that

    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.

        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.

          If one likes The Dollop, would they like BTB? I’ve been listening to the dollop for a few years now and always here BTB mentioned

    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:

    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

    After stitcher died I just stopped listening to podcasts for awhile. I recently found Antenna Pod on fdroid and it’s great!

    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.

    I wonder when they’ll have clients for desktop or other OS, that way I could ditch Pocket Casts.

        Not open source.

        Edit: sike, it is

        They went to a subscription model for using the desktop app… If we could buy it at once as it was possible before I wouldn’t even be looking for alternatives, but I despise subscriptions.

        Funnily enough (although I haven’t looked thoroughly) I couldn’t find a way for this yet 🏴‍☠️

      I thought I could synchronize what I was listening to and where I stopped with gpodder.net but this never worked because I never understood how to use it, even though I logged in on both desktop and phone, so I had to give up the idea of listening on the desktop and I only listen on the phone. If I am at home I sometimes connect to a Bluetooth speaker to have a nicer experience.

        This seems like a good solution, but I also see it is missing iOS in its supported devices so it would affect my setup.

        macOS/Win10, iPad, Android mobile, Shield TV, Alexa.

        I use the casting/BT audio workaround yeah, oh and the subpar Alexa Skill.

      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.
