The top podcasts on Spotify. Long-running interview shows hold the upper places, and new ones have to work hard to break in.
Podcast listening is habitual, so this chart moves slowly. The same handful of shows can sit in the top five for months, which makes a jump by a new or smaller show meaningful.
A climber is usually a viral episode, a famous guest or a new show launched by someone with an existing audience. Check the day count to see whether it held on after the first week.
