My annual Best of the Year coverage currently encompasses the worlds of Cinema, Television, Music, and Podcasts. That last medium is perhaps the most expansive, despite also being the youngest. So since listening to every new podcast of 2025 would have been a disturbingly Herculean task, this isn’t a countdown of the best podcasts of the year, but instead a collection of highlights from the ones on my playlist.

Whenever I’m doing something that doesn’t require my full attention, chances are I’m also pushing play on a podcast. I’m a loyal listener to a couple dozen or so podcasts every year, so I like to put together some annual thoughts on the shows that left a big impression on me.
This isn’t a ranking of the best podcasts of the year (which would be woefully inadequate in such a massive medium anyway), but rather, just a collection of musings that I feel like broadcasting out to the world. This isn’t an exhaustive cataloging of every podcast I listened to in 2023, but it is a pretty good snapshot of my Podcast Personality.
So read on, let me know what you’re listening to as well, and maybe we can podcast together sometime, too!

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!

My annual podcast roundup isn’t a countdown of my favorites, but rather a reflection on some of the audio programs that made the biggest impact on me over the past trip around the Sun. Maybe you enjoyed some of these as well. Or maybe you have some of your own favorites that you’d like to recommend to me and everyone else. Podcasts are everywhere these days! If you want your own, all you have to do is go viral on the street (or do nothing at all, frankly).
