Some of sports’ biggest names made their way onto the YouTube Top Podcast Shows ranking this week, bringing a lighter tone to the chart still dominated by true crime and political commentary.

LeBron James and Steve Nash’s podcast, Mind the Game, hit the charts for the first time this week at #31. The pod’s second season debuted in April after an almost year-long hiatus, with Nash replacing previous co-host JJ Redick of ESPN. Part one of the show’s extensive interview with NBA legend Kevin Durant, which debuted this week, has already gained over two million views.

Two more sports world celebrities joined the charts this week. New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce broke into the top 100 at #89, the first time the brothers have made the cut since the charts began being published. The football stars’ pod has done well for over two years, but hasn’t cracked a million views for months now. Their interview with Brad Pitt this week didn’t hit the million marker, but it definitely played

a role in catapulting the brothers upward.

Checking in with the top five: Joe Rogan is still king, but this week the #2 spot – which The MeidasTouch Podcast has had locked up recently– has been claimed by top five regular Kill Tony. The Meiselas brothers have been bumped into third, with Rotten Mango maintaining its fourth place spot from last week. Last but not least, the Shawn Ryan Show has finally edged its way into the #5 slot. The former Navy SEAL and CIA contractor has been hovering at sixth or seventh for months now, and this week finally nudged 48 Hours aside to take its place.

Famous faces rundown: Tucker Carlson moved down to 12th, Megyn Kelly sits at 16th, Call Her Daddy at #68, and Benny Johnson is nowhere to be found.

Here’s a full rundown of the top 100 podcasts from YouTube, June 30 – July 6, 2025:
