The MeidasTouch Podcast regularly flames President Donald Trump in its episodes.

An anti-Trump podcast outpaced The Joe Rogan Experience by a large number of downloads and views over the past month, according to podcast ranker Podscribe.

The MeidasTouch Podcast grew its reach by 101 percent in the past month, raking in 56 million downloads and views across audio platforms and YouTube, data as of Feb. 18 showed.

Joe Rogan’s show came in second place with 48.6 million downloads and views, down by 32 percent over the past month.


I think this article is a bit out of date, it looks like Joe has fallen even further, hovering between the 3rd and 4th spot. Sorry for the daily beast article, there's not many outlets reporting on this. Here's the current chart as well. MeidasTouch is an overtly liberal anti-Trump podcast with exploding viewership over the last month. Also interesting to note Candace Owens and Shawn Ryan both way down in the rating over the same period. Shawn Ryan was near #1 spot part of last year.

I only know of Shawn Ryan podcast because of video shorts on Youtube

Joe Rogan going political kind of hurts his anti-establishment brand.

 

[HunterAcosta]

Meh. Used to like when he was more open minded but he's just a hardcore conservative in disguise but claims to still be a liberal. I just wish he'd come clean and admit hes basically MAGA now. I used to listen religiously but now, even if its a shitty comedian guest, he goes back to the same talking points of covid vaxx, masks, stolen election, lockdowns, how shitty CA is, how great and free Texas is, how funny Trump is, his friendship with Musk, how corrupt media is(but not conservative media). Its almost like he's paid to shill these points. Which he probably is.

 

[MDoza]

Whoever’s party isn’t in charge just wants someone to tell them the other group is bad, and they are good and will win next time.

 

[Jar of Flies]

About time someone knocked him off his pedestal. Poor guy though. He needs that pedestal to see over counters.

 

[Xanzito]

Don't know most of these people lol
Btw, Theo Von is the WORST interviewer/podcaster i've ever seen, but i finally understand the appeal. It's like they got the dumbest american from the genepool and put him up against someone magnitudes more knowledgeable. I know there's loads of people that identify with the kind of questions he asks

 

[Kassitus]

Interesting, I never heard of them. What exactly is podscribe? Never heard of them either.

 

[Versez]

Strange … never heard of that podcast , ever

 

[F1980]

I'm skeptical. I've never heard of this until now. They might be cooking the numbers.

I'm skeptical. I've never heard of this until now. They might be cooking the numbers.

No, it's been widely reported on tons of outlets. Basically, unless you're listening to cable and mainstream news as your primary sources you've heard about it.

 

[Spam On Rye]

Bullshit. They can try to trick people into thinking that there's a market for feminine men telling low hanging fruit Trump jokes for the 1000th time but that ship has sailed.

That's actually pretty surprising.

Although I guess it makes sense for the left to turn to the memery and podcastery that the right harnesses so well.

Sadly, this just kinda makes politics even more of a team sport.

Can't we go back to the golden age where most of the great unwashed thought it was boring as fuck?

 

[BJ@LW&WW]

never heard of meidastrouch before, but they are #1 on spotify charts.

might give an episode a try, but tbh im not terribly interested in any podcast whos primary focus is about political opinions.


their podcast numbers might be pretty high, but rogan is more than his podcast. they certainly dont have a larger presence than him

lets be real. anyone who can listen to rogan talk about covid for 5 straight years nonstop has more worms in their brain than rfk

You think Spotify is cooking the books against Rogan?


lol.

I nearly died laughing at the irony when Joe looked Kat Williams dead in the eyes and stated that he had moved to Texas for the freedom.

Gotta be particularly fucking dense and ignorant to tell a black man you moved to Texas for the freedom.

It's like Joe doesn't even know what Juneteenth is.

 

[terrapin]

Here is Secular Talk doing another segment on Rogans falling ratings. This one has more emphasis on his own fans turning on him because of sucking off Musk all the time.

Why?
If you tell a foreign black friend to move to the US will you think about the historical context of black men being brought to the US in chain as slaves? Would it be offensive?
lol

 

[terrapin]

Here is Tennessee Brando from the Midas Touch Network doing a segment on Rogan and now he's trying to save face after losing so many fans due to his foolish and insane support of Musk all the time.

I think Brando is being quite polite here, but he does point out that Rogan has been a giant hypocrite and points out why it'd be very difficult to respect Rogan after his recent activity.

 

[HOLA]

There’s only so many hundreds of hours people can take of Joe talking about Covid and Mike Baker saying essentially nothing before they die of boredom, apparently.
