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.

        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.

    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:

    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.

      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.

        I ended up using the nextcloud gpodder sync app, works a treat, there’s even a nextcloud app for listening to podcasts in your browser, so I use that for desktop use.

          I also use Nextcloud gpodder - it’s been set and forget in my case, very easy. Use Kasts on desktop, and AntennaPod on my phone.

          So what exact features does it have? I need three:

          1. sync my subscription list between devices
          2. sync the time where I paused to listen to each podcast episode
          3. sync which episodes I already listened to

        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.

    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!

    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.
