After months of sharply criticizing President Donald Trump’s actions, decisions and rhetoric, the left-leaning MeidasTouch Podcast overtook the Joe Rogan Experience for the first time last week, according to YouTube’s weekly ranking of top podcast shows.
While Rogan’s 20.1 million YouTube followers dwarf MeidasTouch’s 5.2 million, the podcasting giant’s show finished in second place. Progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen and conservative-leaning Sean Ryan’s shows also made the top ten.
The MeidasTouch Podcast saw its rankings climb in July as Trump attempted to appease Congress, the media, and voters over his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, with episodes zeroing in on the president’s past ties to and comments about the disgraced financier.
This pod is seems over hyped, it’s not even in top 10 on Apple, while Rogan is usually in top 3.
I get people want a central lefty shoe to counter Rogan and co, but I’m sorry that ecosystem just does not exist
FWIW I don’t like or listen to Rogan.
Seems like it does exist though. I don’t particularly get it, but there is apparently an audience for it. I hope they continue to grow if it pulls “independents” and the conspiratorial right to be a new conspiratorial left, that’s not bad on it’s face.
