Top 10 Podcasts of 2020 master list! ✅

From 16 publications!

Let’s close this year down, shall we? 2021 is upon us. Vaccines are rolling out. Enter Ludacris.

Thank you for joining this ride when we started in September. We hope to continue to provide great podcast recommendations in 2021 based on listener, critic, and staff reviews. Your feedback to make this newsletter better is always welcome.

On to my picks this week…

Online magazines and blogs are doing their Top Podcast lists of 2020. I took 16 publications and blog lists and made one comprehensive Top 10 list. Shout out to the Great Pods intern/niece, Ifra, for helping with the tedious task of splitting the spreadsheet work and crunching numbers.

The numbers on the right are the number of publications that included the podcast on their year-end list. I managed to find and add critic reviews for each podcast on greatpods.co (desktop or mobile widescreen friendly for now). Thanks to Chris for getting the basic review page up for me to share! (Still a work in progress)
