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.

Any good recommendations for someone into:

  • German (slice of life, politics?)
  • UK politics? (Jimmy the Giant style, please)
  • World History
  • Curious Android style Tech and Engineering?
  • Linux, but lwn-style not Linus-tips style?

For Linux I can recommend Ask Noah Show , Linux Unplugged , Linux Matters and Destination Linux.

For Tech maybe TechAltar and ColdFusion.

For tech, check out Hard Fork.

‘The Rest is History’ is how I’ve been getting my world history. Great banter from two British hosts

I like movies.

If you like movies I recommend checking out The Rewatchables if you haven’t already.

Here’s my results from PocketCasts. Niche AF I’m guessing

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

Love this app!

Does anyone know how to totally disable the Queue?

Here is mine!

I’ve not heard of self hosted or ask Noah.

What are they about?

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.

Yes , I am the type fuck corporations , and let’s support good companies. Like Valve not perfect but better than the rest.

I am very partial to valve myself, while they aren’t perfect, I am not immune to propaganda, and own 3 valve shirts.

Awesome. Thanks for the recommendation

Self hosting , Linux and Open source.

Are you me? Pretty much the same except with Late Night Linux added.

Currently binging the backlog as we speak. They just hit Covid lol

There’s a lot of different podcasts in the whole LNL package if you subscribed to the Ad-free feed. It’s 7 different shows and a few of them are over 200 episodes.

I listen to the Late Night Linux too lol

I think my ADHD shines through with podcasts, I start listening to the first 10 mins then drown out whatever they are talking about and then just give up listening. It’s a shame because there are many podcasts out there id like to listen to.

I don’t have ADHD, but I have the same with reading books. I can read articles in a newspaper, but once I take a book into my hands I fall asleep.

Idk, I miss the Google Podcast app so much. Nothing else has come close for ease of use and car integration

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

Love to see MBMBaM!

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.

Great thanks! I downloaded a couple of episodes to listen to.

I love the app, but the summary was kind of shit 😁

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

What’s wrong with Pocket Casts?

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 🏴‍☠️

Their freemium model fooled me, it is indeed open-source

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.

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

It does a decent job at all 3 from my experience

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