The two leading podcast apps, Apple Podcasts and Spotify, have each released their top charts for 2021. Let’s dive in. In addition to listing the most popular new shows, and most popular paid podcasts, Apple put on their editorial hat and gave an award for “Best Show of the Year” to A Slight Change of Plans” with Maria Shankar. Spotify went with a more purely data-centric approach, and it’s no surprise to anyone existing on the planet that “The Joe Rogan Experience” was the top Spotify podcast of 2021.

This was the first time that Apple has released any data on its paid channels, and some familiar names are on the list. NPR’s beloved Terry Gross came in at number four, immediately followed by the appropriately named “The Handoff” with Don Lemon and the recently (indefinitely) suspended Chris Cuomo at number five. Former WSJ reporter John Carryrou’s podcast about the Theranos trial was number one, proving that true white collar crime can also be a popular thing.
