Just curious what are the top 3 podcasts you listened to this year on whatever platform. Antennapod released a feature that summarized your year and well the amount of hours kinda surprised me in a good way, haha.

Edit: Mine were

  • The let’s read podcast
  • Therapy gecko
  • How To Survive

    I’ve definitely had both. Sometimes the hosts of the actual podcast read an ad using their own voices. In this case everyone gets the same audio file and crowdsourcing the timestamps would work.

    For dynamically inserted ads, it will be more complicated. Maybe a system like content id that has a library of known ads and detects them in the audio.

      Yes, though some of those are dynamically inserted as well.

      I sometimes watch years old podcast episodes, and it’ll insert a pre-recorded current day ad where the host is doing it. And when I listen to the episode months later, the ads change again sometimes, but it is still the host doing it.

      Also, maybe it’s just the podcasts I listen to, but all podcasts I listen to seems to always be the host doing the ad.
