Trump-Hating Podcast Rockets Past Rogan With Nearly Double the Downloads

The MeidasTouch Podcast sits atop the podcast of the month list for the second time in a row.

Cry your eyes out, Joe Rogan.

The left-leaning MeidasTouch Podcast just widened its lead as the top podcast in the country, clocking just under 125 million downloads and views in the last month, according to Podscribe.

This is more than double the listeners MeidasTouch received in February, when it first dethroned The Joe Rogan Experience for the top spot. Rogan’s podcast registered 64 million downloads.

The podcast gets its name from the progressive “pro-democracy” media company MeidasTouch. Its hosts—Meiselas brothers Ben, Brett, and Jordan—mix news with banter and often criticize President Donald Trump, with recent episodes titled “Trump Suffers Badly as It All Backfires on Him” and “Trump Blows Up Term Quickly and Throws a Party.”

Prior to his podcast days, Ben Meiseles, the co-owner of the Los Angeles Magazine, was NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s lead lawyer. Brett Meiselas previously worked as a video editor on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, for which he earned two Emmys. Jordan Meiselas was an award-winning advertising executive in New York.

Pro-MAGA Joe Rogan is an Ultimate Fighting Championship commentator, comedian, and former television host whose podcast has featured Elon Musk and Kanye West.

Other podcasts in the top 10 include right-leaning the Dan Bongino Show, the Ben Shapiro Show, and the Megyn Kelly Show.
