Rogan slips into second spot, as the MeidasTouch Podcast becomes the country's most downloaded and listened to show this month.

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.

    Yeah it infuriates me that that is the way to get clicks and farm veiws. A lot of the time, the content is actually good, but fuck, those stupid ass thumbnails and titles drive me insane.

      Unfortunately it works. We have to remember that their methodology is the reason why they have a massive audience in the first place. So we need to distinguish the marketing from the material.

      Dems could learn a thing or two from Republicans on this front.
