2020 – What I Read, Watched, and Listened To

Books

Movies

TV Shows

TV Episodes

I did a lot less cleanup on this data this year because…2020. I think I was pretty good at logging, maybe not all the episodes of certain shows.

Music Google finally abandoned the Google Play music platform and switched to YouTube music. While I was able to shift my personal library, all the great stations I used to listen to on Google Play were gone or filled with commercials (free music has to be ad-supported, but I pay for a lot of other music platforms), so that drove me back to Spotify – which I still don’t really like, but continue to subscribe to. Once again, with my Spotify account being used in the car and Sonos at home, the stats are not my own.

It would appear that my bad dad-joke of playing Gotta Get Up by Harry Nilsson, made it to the top spot on the list. 🙂

Books and movies are generally in order by the date I read or watched them. The TV shows are ordered alphabetically by series.  If it is listed twice, I watched it twice.

PODCASTS

Podcast listening dropped to nothing when I stopped commuting in March. The location of where I watch/read/listened to media is pretty evident – home (maybe if I revisit this, I’ll make a comparison of places from 2019 – 2020).  At the bottom of the page is a list of podcasts I did find time to listen to, and some of my favorites, including the incredibly cool, Forest 404.

These Are Great Audio Dramas I listened to:

Forest404 

The Lovecraft Investigations

I listened to a few of these in 2020 after March 13th lockdown began.

The Daily – New York Times

Imaginary Worlds

Every Little Thing

The Dave Chang Show

 

The rest of these are all still in the queue waiting to be enjoyed when driving and commuting begin again:
