Studio711.com – Ben Martens

Lots of websites are doing these “Wrapped” style emails where they show statistics about your usage of their service. Here’s a sampling of mine:

Spotify

I listen to a lot of Spotify while I’m working and I found myself listening to a playlist of Christian radio songs that I listened to in the ~90’s. You can listen to it here (no subscription needed if you’re ok with ads.) That combined with our reading of the Wingfeather Saga got me into listening to a lot of Andrew Peterson music.

• Listened for 51,049 minutes
• Play 4,898 songs
• Listened to 1,249 artists
• Top songs (mostly because these are two of my favorite albums)
  • FFH – One of These Days
  • FFH – Big Fish
  • Caedmon’s Call – Thankful
  • FFH – Power In His blood
  • Caedmon’s Call – Table for Two
• Top artists
  • Andrew Peterson
  • Third Day
  • George Strait
  • The Arcadian Wild
  • Josh Turner

Pocket Casts

This one was less interesting to me because I already know which podcasts I listen to regularly, but here it is anyway:

• 23 different shows and 403 total episodes
• 12 days, 17 hours, 5 minutes of listening
• Top podcasts
  • Stuff You Should Know
  • Making It
  • Cordkills
  • No Dumb Questions
  • Wood Talk

Duolingo

I started doing Duolingo in 2020 as a way to make good use of the time I previously spent commuting and I’m still doing it every day.

• Completed 2217 lessons earning 96,226 XP over 3201 minutes
• Current streak is at 1529 days

Goodreads

There are so many books that I’d like to read that I really enjoy using Goodreads to keep track of them all. My Kindle syncs with my Goodreads account but given how old my Kindle is, it crashes every couple weeks and prematurely marks books as completed so I don’t put much confidence in the things like the number of days that it takes me to read a book.

• 31 books read, 9827 pages read
• Most common book read: Percy Jackson and the Olympians
• Least common book read: Taboo (Read this!)
• Highest rated book read: The Wingfeather Saga: The Warden and the Wolf King

UDisc

I played less disc golf than last year, but here are my stats.

• Steps: 42,300
• Holes played: 141
• Total throws: 465
• Distance thrown: 7 miles
• Courses played: 6

Trakt

I use Trakt to keep track of all the movies and TV shows that I watch. It’s great for hopping around between shows and remembering our show progress as we add and remove various streaming services.

• Elijah and I watched 121 episodes of Mythbusters
• The show Tyla and I watched the most episodes of was The Chosen.
• The show we all watched the most episodes of together was The Wingfeather Saga.

Untappd

I track all my beers and have fun seeing how many different ones I can experience.

• I tried 112 new beers from 64 breweries covering 31 different styles.
