Of course I listen to music but it tends to be either playlists I’ve built over the years or 6Music in true middle aged dad fashion.
But I do listen to a lot of podcasts. Way more than I thought to be honest.

PocketCasts is my player of choice, it lets me schedule what I’m listening to, downloads when I want it to etc. and in their wrap up apparently I listened to over 41k minutes of podcasts this year. I do tend to have them on as background noise quite a lot but even so!
The other thing I found interesting was my most listened podcasts.

It got me thinking about the different bubbles that the listening is compartmentalised into. I obviously listen to a lot of tech, movie, and comedy podcasts. I do think it would be interesting if some of the hosts ended up chatting to each other. For example, I suspect Mark Kermode and Andy Ihnatko would be firm friends within an hour or two of chatting.
You listen to these people so much that you feel like you know them!
I’m always looking for recommendations on podcasts. Here’s my subscriptions, what do you listen to?
