     Unsubscribed from Vox's Today Explained podcast after about 6 years. I enjoyed it as one of my main news sources, but then they called someone who writes for Electronic Intifada "a journalist". It is legitimate to agree with that website; it is not legitimate to call it "journalism".

     Unsubscribed from 99% Invisible after about 8 years. It's not just the Robert Moses stuff, which was too long, but not too awful by itself. It's just that everything there became tired.

     Also, the ads became too awful. I can skip them, but juat knowing that they are there makes me cringe.

     I pay for a few podcasts, and I'd pay for this one to be how it was in 2019 or at least 2021. AFAIK, it's not an option.

     I've been listening to Daily Show as a podcast since 2018 (I had neither the time nor the equipment to watch it on an actual TV).

     I struggled through the year without a permanent host, listened to all the episodes with the temporary ones, and even enjoyed many of them.

     I unsubscribed in the middle of the first new Jon Stewart episode.

     I don't have any deep commentary about this. He was just not funny.
