British shows dominate the new chart, but Joe Rogan’s occasionally offensive American bro-cast comes out on top
’s long-winded, rambling, occasionally offensive, often inaccurate bro-cast has long been the outlier smash of the medium, watched on YouTube by his fans as well as listened to via earphones. His podcast has nothing in common with any of the others in the chart, except perhaps Logan Paul’s, another overlong and irritatingly ego-based affair.is unusual among the top five because it’s not funny.
It’s noticeable that the chart is populated predominantly by British shows. Only four US podcasts make the top 25; this would not have been the case just a few years ago.
