Podcast, anyone?* More like Podcasts, everyone! What I’m trying to say is, it seems like everyone in the whole entire world is making a podcast nowadays. Or at least listening to them.

I’ve certainly been listening to dozens, if not hundreds**, in the past year. So without further ado, (and instead with further adon’t), here’s my roundup of my biggest takeaways from listening to podcasts in 2022, organized by category.

(*-Like “Tennis, anyone?” but replace “tennis” with “podcast.”)

(**-I guess it depends on if you count by the show or by the episode. Or how kooky you’re feeling.)

For 2021, I’ve decided to elucidate my favorite podcasts of the year by recognizing the ones that I was most excited to listen to every week. (Or however often a new episode is posted!) But first, I’ve made a list of every podcast that I currently subscribe to on my feed and which I listened to at least one new episode of in 2021, because each and every one of them deserves to be called The Best!

Any ranking of the best entertainment of the year is necessarily incomplete and represents the personal proclivities of the ranker, and that’s especially true in the case of podcasts. I listen to more podcasts than anyone I know personally (by a wide margin), but that’s still less than approximately 0.0001% of all the podcasts out there. So for my Best Podcasts of 2020 feature, I decided to make it particularly personal by listing ALL the podcasts that I listened to in the past year, because they’re all special, and all worth shouting out. I’ve organized them into a few categories: 2020 Debuts, Veterans, a few specialty categories that you’ll discover when you get to them, and Podcasts That I Host.
