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.

      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.

        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.
