Summary
Joe Rogan’s podcast has lost its long-held No. 1 ranking to the anti-Trump MeidasTouch Podcast, according to Podscribe data.
MeidasTouch, founded by the Meiselas brothers, saw a 101% increase in downloads, reaching 56 million, while The Joe Rogan Experience dropped 32% to 48.6 million.
The shift marks a rare moment where a left-leaning podcast overtakes typically dominant conservative voices.
It remains uncertain whether MeidasTouch will maintain its top position or if other anti-Trump podcasts will gain traction.
This is like the gen alpha version of “MSNBC beats out Fox as most viewed cable news network” headlines from 2017
Yes, but that also like never happened. Fox was always dominant.
It definitely did?
Edit: apparently only for brief periods. If you consider his first term overall, Fox did dominate
I would fucking love that if it were true but it most certainly is not

I think it was just for like a week or two so it wouldn’t necessarily show up in the yearly averages in those charts.

I thought that was the point of the original comment, even.
Thanks for the link. It does seem that there is a correlation between News media that leans toward the minority party getting a bump in eyeballs.

Is your point that no one listens to podcasts? Because they do.
Why would he mean that? They appear to be the two most-watched cable news channels in the US.

Also, man, that surprises me. I thought that CNN was the largest. I was expecting Fox to be second-largest and MSNBC to be in the top five or something.
Maybe I’m just really out-of-date.
Just trying to figure out what they meant. Cable news is on the downswing so that was my guess
Oh, gotcha.
Yeah, actually, I mean, I know that it was losing viewers, but I’m also kind of surprised that the numbers are that low, now that I think about it, if that’s “viewers” and not “households viewing”.
It looks like 2010 was the beginning of the decline.
I think I last had cable service somewhere around 2004.
No surprise that it aligns with the proliferation of smartphones.
Yeah I think I had cable until about 2014. But for about 8-10 years before that my cable company literally gave me a discount for taking cable with my Internet. I basically never watched it but I’m not paying extra to lose that option.
Pretty sure they weren’t implying anything behind it, just that it is similar to what happened back then but with Fox vs MSNBC. People shifting more into left once again, will have to wait and see if it will be major shift.
Non-children listen to these podcasts?
