We sum up the results of the outgoing year and choose the best of the best. Get the opinion of the editors and vote for your favorite in the poll.

In a challenging 2022, anxiety about the future has taken its toll on podcasts as well. Many studios and authors have reoriented their content towards caring for listeners and helping them in every possible way. The show began to hear more advice on how to pay more attention to yourself and maintain mental health. Life hacker, for example, taking into account current topics reformatted podcast "Who would say".

We decided to give the title of the best to the podcast, which, in our opinion, most closely corresponds to a difficult year. This is "The Apprentices" - a spin-off of the podcast "The Robber's Daughter" by the studio "Either / Or". Congratulations colleagues!

The Pupils project is an investigation by journalist Nastya Krasilnikova about years of sexual harassment at a summer school for gifted children. Back in the summer of 2021, the author wrote an unfamiliar girl and asked her to listen.

The girl introduced herself as Asha Komarovskaya and said that from the age of 14 to 20 she was in a relationship with a man who was older than her and used sexual, physical and emotional violence against her. She claimed that he had created some kind of sect around him, into which he lured girls from 13 to 20 years old. Thus began this investigation.

The stories collected by Nastya Krasilnikova are shocking to the core. In addition to the releases, the author published photographs of participants in the events and screenshots of correspondence made during the investigation. All this information can be found On the page podcast.
