If You Could Only Recommend One

How this was counted. Counted by distinct redditor: naming a show counts, and so does a reply agreeing with it — a reply is only credited to the answer above it when that answer drew a crowd of its own, because at the bottom of a long thread the flat text stops telling you what is a reply and what is simply the next answer down. This is a partial count, and that is new here. Reddit serves at most 500 comments per sort order, so three sorts were merged and they reach 382 comments of 1,372 — a little over a quarter, weighted toward the ones that got upvoted. Every other tally on this site counted a whole thread. Read the numbers as a floor and the order as roughly right, not as a result. The question is a good one precisely because it is cruel: “only one” stops people listing the six podcasts they like and makes them choose.
