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 Roganâs show came in second place with 48.6 million downloads and views, down by 32 percent over the past month.
The Podscribe ranker accounts for the total estimated number of downloads and views that a show receives across all episodes each month on both its podcast and YouTube channel.
The MeidasTouch Podcast is hosted by brothers Ben, Brett, and Jordan Meiselas, who regularly scorch President Donald Trump in episodes that mix news and banter.
Before joining forces, Ben was the lead lawyer for NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick and co-owns the Los Angeles Magazine with celebrity attorney Mark Geragos. Brett won two Emmys for his video editing work for The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Jordan, meanwhile, was an award-winning advertising executive in New York.
In the past month, the podcast covered Trumpâs glitzy appearance at NASCARâs Daytona 500 race, the series of plane crashes that have beset the Trump administrationâs early days in office, and controversial tariffs imposed on imported goods.
âThe brothers' unique approach at covering news by combining hilarious brother banter with an unapologetic support of democracy has earned them millions of supporters in America and across the globe and made them social media icons,â the showâs Spotify description reads.
Though the anti-Trump podcast climbed its way to the top, the Podscribe chart was still dominated by right-leaning shows.
After Rogan in second place, MAGA firebrand Candace Owensâs eponymous podcast sat in third, followed by The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett, This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von, the Shawn Ryan Show, and the Dan Bongino Show.
The Ben Shapiro Show was ranked ninth, bounded by NPR shows in the eighth and tenth places.
Podcast bros like Rogan and Von have been credited with boosting Trumpâs popularity with younger men during the presidential campaign.
Last month, the White House was inundated with press pass requests after announcing that it was opening its doors to podcasters and influencers.
