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.
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.
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?
Not open source
Their freemium model fooled me, it is indeed open-source
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.
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.
So what exact features does it have? I need three:
- sync my subscription list between devices
- sync the time where I paused to listen to each podcast episode
- sync which episodes I already listened to
It does a decent job at all 3 from my experience
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.
Here is mine!
Are you me? Pretty much the same except with Late Night Linux added.
I listen to the Late Night Linux too lol
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’ve not heard of self hosted or ask Noah.
What are they about?
Self hosting , Linux and Open source.
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.
Awesome. Thanks for the recommendation
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.
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?
I like movies.
If you like movies I recommend checking out The Rewatchables if you haven’t already.
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!
After stitcher died I just stopped listening to podcasts for awhile. I recently found Antenna Pod on fdroid and it’s great!
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:
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.
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 tech, check out Hard Fork.
For Linux I can recommend Ask Noah Show , Linux Unplugged , Linux Matters and Destination Linux.
- https://wrint.de/ has a lot of German shows also with politics and science
- https://www.alternativlos.org/ posts seldom but also politics and science
- https://podcaste97de5.podigee.io/ politics in german
For Tech maybe TechAltar and ColdFusion.
‘The Rest is History’ is how I’ve been getting my world history. Great banter from two British hosts
Idk, I miss the Google Podcast app so much. Nothing else has come close for ease of use and car integration
I love the app, but the summary was kind of shit 😁
Does anyone else use this with Android Auto?
Love that app, but can’t get it to resume my podcast when I get in the car. Music works fine, the old Google podcasts worked fine, but I’ve never gotten it to work with antenna pod.
I do
Mine works. Sometimes it gives me a “recommended” podcast from my list instead of what I was listening to, but I just enter the app and go to queue and select th one at the top.
I came here to steal new podcasts, so I’ll leave mine as well lol
Love to see The Dollop!
By the titles I have no idea what are those podcasts about lol
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.
