While I was working on my favorite music list of 2022, I realized that it might be a good idea to go through my favorite podcasts. After all, by far the bulk of my time is spent listening to podcasts. They’re great: you can listen when driving, working, watching sports, walking, doing household tasks, etc. I probably don’t need to tell anyone how great podcasts are. I love being able to listen to some of my favorite people on the internet on a weekly (or more) basis.
Unsurprisingly, most of my favorites and most-listened to podcasts are tech-centric in general and often (but not always) Apple-specific. I should also add that my favorite podcast app (for iOS) is Overcast by Marco Arment. Anyway, here they are, in no particular order.

This isn’t all-inclusive; there are many more shows that I may listen to here and there when there’s something especially interesting. Probably more than I could ever list. But these are all of the ones that I listen to regularly (and why I have no time to listen to any music).
