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 tend to keep the news and such to more straightforward broadcasts like stuff from NPR. Otherwise, I’m quite partial to Citation Needed and their other show God Awful Movies (which is atheist stuff making fun of religious and woo movies).
And if I’m in a more mindless mood, I’ve been listening to Comedy Bang Bang lately which has existed since the beginning of time. Improv with guests, basically, which makes it pretty hit or miss depending on how it lands.
(Also other suggestions are good too. There’s so many better options than midas lol)
