2022 Felt like it was over in the blink of an eye. After looking back at the last few years of reports, I decided I wanted to get back to more specificity. So I tried to clean up the numbers a lot more and made a more detailed breakdown in the media list. In 2023 I plan to add museums and cultural events to the list – dropping that mention here for accountability… 🙂
I got covid in June, and TV watching spiked.
As usual, I don’t list favorites or ratings (I keep ratings, but most everything lands in the 6 – 8 out of 10, so it’s not very helpful).
Music – Kids’ music still hits the top 5, but you know, We Don’t Talk About Bruno. Music is still a poor representation because I still bounce across multiple platforms. Apple Music on my phone. Spotify on the home system. I mostly listen to DJ sets on Youtube while writing on the weekends (that’s about 4 – 6 hours).
Generally in alphabetical order.

The new data point for 2022 – Who I watched media with.
My wife, my kids, my in-laws, and just solo. Sorry friends, we didn’t seem to watch anything together in 2022!! Maybe time to get the AV Club back together.
PODCASTS
I’m back to commuting to the office 3 – 5 days a week. So podcasts are back. And I’m better for it.

The Daily – New York Times
