After months of sharply criticizing President Donald Trumpās actions, decisions and rhetoric, the left-leaning MeidasTouch Podcast overtook the Joe Rogan Experience for the first time last week, according to YouTubeās weekly ranking of top podcast shows.
While Roganās 20.1 million YouTube followers dwarf MeidasTouchās 5.2 million, the podcasting giantās show finished in second place. Progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen and conservative-leaning Sean Ryanās shows also made the top ten.
The MeidasTouch Podcast saw its rankings climb in July as Trump attempted to appease Congress, the media, and voters over his administrationās handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, with episodes zeroing in on the presidentās past ties to and comments about the disgraced financier.

One of my friends that listens regularly once told me that he likes the format, thereās a guy with a topic & itās explored but they meander off into side conversations. It feels very natural & isnāt forced.
