Joe Rogan dethroned as top Spotify podcast by his own guest

As a long-time listener of Joe Rogan’s podcast, I must admit that it’s always intriguing to see the dynamic shifts in the world of podcasting. While Joe has been a consistent powerhouse, it’s fascinating to witness his occasional dethroning by guests like Shawn Ryan. It just goes to show that sometimes, the student becomes the master!


Once more, The Joe Rogan Experience has lost its position as Spotify’s leading podcast, now surpassed by one of its latest guests.

For several years now, Joe Rogan’s podcast has enjoyed widespread popularity on Spotify due to an agreement that made it unique to their platform.

Despite consistently holding the top spot on Spotify’s podcast rankings for Joe Rogan, there have been instances where other brands have managed to temporarily dethrone it as the most popular podcast.

On October 2, 2024, Joe Rogan lost the number one position on Spotify’s US podcast chart once more, with one of his latest guests taking over the top spot.

On his podcast, The Shawn Ryan Show, Shawn Ryan – a veteran from the U.S. Navy Seals – shares compelling narratives about experiences in war, grief, and restoration that have yet to be fully disclosed. To date, he has welcomed 135 different guests on the show.

In a recent development, Ryan’s show has surpassed the Joe Rogan Experience as the leading podcast. The latest episode on September 30 invites a former US Army Green Beret and author, now dedicated to assisting veterans following his retirement.

Following an appearance by Shawn Ryan on Joe Rogan’s podcast discussing diverse global issues, the video has garnered more than 2 million views on YouTube independently.

In the U.S., Rogan continues to dominate the rankings, but his influence hasn’t had the same impact on the UK charts.

In early 2024, Rogan secured a fresh deal with Spotify that granted him permission to distribute his podcast across multiple platforms at once. This situation probably means that some of his Spotify audience might be migrating to other platforms such as YouTube and Apple Podcasts.

Among the top five most-listened-to Spotify podcasts following Shawn Ryan and Joe Rogan are those hosted by Candace, The Tucker Carlson Program, and Talk Tuah by Hailey Welch.

Ever since Haliey Welch started her podcast Talk Tuah on September 10, it’s been gaining a tremendous amount of attention and affection from listeners, climbing all the way up to the fourth position on the Spotify charts.

As I hopped onto social media after listening to the latest podcast episode, I couldn’t help but notice a wave of hilarious memes popping up. Users on X were poking fun at the show by portraying its content as much more intense and dramatic than it really is. It was amusing to see the contrast between the actual lighthearted nature of the podcast and these exaggerated representations!

A meme was shared, stating: “Recently, Hawk Tuah gained popularity following her criticism about excessive application of sophisticated AI models in studies conducted by novice quantitative researchers.” The meme featured an image of Welch along with a scientific diagram.
