Joe Rogan tops podcast charts for 2020

I’m not a fan of the Joe Rogan podcast, but I know soooo many guys who love it.  Swear it’s the smartest show on the internet.  And his guests may be, but Joe himself asks questions that drive me nuts.  He’s not for me.  But that means nothing to anyone who matters because the dude crushed even worldwide streaming lists.

Spotify released its annual “Wrapped” report, summing up trends in audio.  (See rankings below)

Rogan led the field on the overall “most popular podcasts” roster, ahead of TED Talks Daily, the New York Times’ The Daily, The Michelle Obama Podcast and Barstool Sports’ Call Her Daddy. On the company’s recently introduced Group Sessions co-listening feature, Call Her Daddy came out on top. Genre-wise, “society & culture” was the most popular, followed by comedy and “lifestyle & health.”
