What We Loved in 2025

It's that time of year again! We're looking back on 2025 and sharing what we loved the most. This year, Andrea loved too many things to narrow her list down, so she's fully cheating and sharing a bunch of stuff in a variety of categories (Check out her music playlist here). Jodie took the opposite approach and went SO specific. Between the two of them, you should have plenty to fill the liminal space that is December 26th through, let's say, January 5th. Check below for a list of all of our recommendations.What Jodie Loved in 2025TaskmasterGame Changer: “One Year Later”British crime shows, in general“Niche crafting shows and their watching culture.”The Pitt season 1Honorable Mentions:Choreography and MerrimentAnd this friendly reminderWhat Andrea Loved in 2025Comedy specialsAtsuko Okatsuka: FatherRobby Hoffman: Wake UpAn Intimate Evening with Adam Pally DROPOUT PRESENTS:Aparna Nancherla: Hopeful PotatoDemi Adejuyigbe: Is Going to Do One (1) BackflipCameron Esposito: Four PillsDocumentariesJohn Candy: I Like MeThank You Very MuchCome See Me in the Good LightDeaf President NowMusic Pool Kids: Easier Said Than Done The Wonder Years: Burst & Decay (Volume III)  Motion City Soundtrack: The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World Hayley Williams: Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party The Starting Line: Eternal Youth  Algernon Cadwallader: Trying Not to Have a Thought PUP: Who Will Look After the Dogs?  Anxious: Bambi Gully Boys: Gully BoysThe Business Casual ShowThe concept: livestreaming live improvDynastyTypewriter.com and ucbcomedy.com are good places to startIf you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.
