It was an election year, so @podsaveamerica.bsky.social took the top spot.

Glad to see @onthemedia.bsky.social take 2nd place. It’s my go-to pod every Friday.

The latest season of In the Dark by @newyorker.com and Madeleine Baran was gut wrenching.

If you love music, this podcast is like Song Exploder but way better. @luxxury.bsky.social and Diallo break down some of our favorite songs track by track. Very impressive. I have a deeper appreciation for songs I already loved.
