The biggest name in the podcast space was vindicated on Wednesday when the YouTube Podcast Charts showed Joe Rogan back in the number one spot after weeks of charting below #1.

The host of The Joe Rogan Experience has consistently dominated the podcast rankings, spending months at a time at the top of the charts. But starting in mid-July, Rogan was consistently deprived of the gold, holding onto the #2 spot while competitors like Alex Earl and The MeidasTouch Podcast snagged the slot at #1.

This week, Rogan is back on top in more ways than one. The White House is reportedly considering a possible Joe Rogan Experience appearance by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as a way to combat negative press around the Jeffery Epstein, even after the podcast star upped the ante on his criticism of the current administration last week.

Checking in with the rest of the top five: comedy pod Kill Tony sits at #2, while last week’s #1, The MeidasTouch Podcast, comes in third. True crime podcast Rotten Mango is fifth.

In a surprising upset, The Tucker Carlson Show has reached the #4 spot this week, the highest the pod has charted since YouTube began releasing their chart in May. A possible contributor to the ranking: Tucker Carlson’s recent bombshell interview with podcaster Candace Owens about French President Emmanuel Macron’s lawsuit against her.

Famous faces check in: Megyn Kelly sits at #26, Call Her Daddy come in at #47, and the Pod Save America boys placed 100th.

Here’s a full rundown of the top 100 podcasts from YouTube, July 28 – August 3, 2025:
