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.
I don’t really care for either, and I’m particularly politically minded and listen to podcasts almost exclusively. They just aren’t very interesting or funny, the two things I need in a podcast. What’s the appeal, rage?
Rage seems to win elections.
recommendations?
I like Crooked Media’s Pod Save the World.
Sometimes Pod Save America, but thats probably more interesting for someone living in the US. I can’t listen to it more than maybe once a month.

I’ve been finding the tone “you’re not alone” tone of anger to be… helpful.
