YouTube Launches Weekly Podcast Chart, Joe Rogan Claims Top Spot
YouTube has officially launched its own weekly podcast chart, and Joe Rogan is leading the pack. The Joe Rogan Experience ranked number one on the new chart for the week of May 5th to 11th, followed by Kill Tony, Rotten Mango, and 48 Hours.
The new chart highlights the top 100 podcasts in the United States based on total watch time, according to YouTube podcast lead Steve McLendon. It will be updated every Wednesday and will only include full podcast playlists that creators have marked as 'podcasts' during the upload process. Playlists made up of clips or Shorts won't be eligible.
This move reinforces YouTube's growing role in podcast consumption. Earlier this year, the platform revealed that over 1 billion people use YouTube each month to access podcast content, significantly outpacing Spotify's 100 million listeners reported in 2023.
McLendon added that YouTube plans to roll out more podcast-focused features and expand the chart to additional regions in the future, further solidifying its position in the podcasting world.

Silver anniversary of a marriage made for TV
These days, much of my family time is spent watching my ageing father watch KBC episodes on a loop on YouTube. I jokingly call it a 'soother' for his fretful, fading mind. His unconditional love for the show and my shared viewing with him has given me an empathetic perspective beyond my entrenched cynicism and equivocation. The recent seasons of KBC have been all about Bachchan carrying forward the mantle of the Baghban patriarch effectively to the next level. He is the dignified elder but not distant, stately but not authoritarian. He is a confidant who inspires people across age groups to share their deepest feelings with him and, in turn, the nation at large. Be it a young couple's pain at their parents not accepting their inter-caste marriage or a couple forced to live separately in distant cities because of workplace demands. It's something Shah Rukh Khan couldn't channel in his one season as a host despite his flair. Bachchan smoothly adapts to the personality of each of the contestants—playful, jocular, theatrical or serious. He might be playing the lead, yet becomes the supporting actor and ally for participants, letting them take centre-stage. He tries not to be the hero in what is arguably his best role since being Salim-Javed's Vijay. The very sentimentality and wealth creation that KBC has been critiqued for appear to be its trump cards, because it all boils down to the triumph of the underdog. It's tough to not get moved by the plight of Usmanbhai, a farmer from Uttar Pradesh, matter of fact in talking about the vagaries of income and the inability to pay his child's fee for seven months. Or Sudhir Kumar Verma, a daily wage earner, referring to his trial by fire of being scorched in the furnace of mines. How can one not celebrate the never-say-die spirit of Himani Bundela, the first visually impaired crorepati on the show? And what's not to appreciate about Jayant Dule playing for the money to build bathrooms for the women in his village? It's a peep into the social contradictions of India and puts the spotlight on the struggles of the invisibilised, and their rare shots at success. In the last episode of season 16, Bachchan admitted being the kendra (centre) of the show, but one supported by three mahashaktis (superpowers)—the participants, viewers on the sets and those watching the show in their homes. It's hard to imagine that this trinity would have left him untouched. For someone who has been mythologised as the representative of the marginalised, personifying the social discontent and defiance of the times in the peak of his stardom as the screen's Angry Young Man, it's somehow apt to see him interacting with those common Indians in his most persuasive avatar since Vijay. It's about a superstar climbing down from his ivory tower to mingle with hoi polloi and make the privileged among us do the same.

Saru actress Anushka Merchande shares her heartfelt family tradition with her sisters on Yoga Day
On the occasion of International Yoga Day , actress Anushka Merchande, best known for her role as Anika in the television show Saru, reflected on a deeply personal and cherished tradition—Sunday morning yoga sessions with her sisters. Speaking about the ritual, Anushka shared, 'Every Sunday at sunrise, my sisters and I roll out our yoga mats — a ritual that started years ago and has become a tradition we deeply cherish. Between stretches, laughter, and quiet reflection, we reconnect — not just with ourselves, but with each other.' She fondly recalled how their yoga journey began at home, guided by online videos: 'I still remember our first session — following a YouTube video on our living room TV, confusing our lefts and rights, falling over more than we balanced.' Over time, the sisters transitioned from their living room to a nearby park, embracing nature as part of their practice. 'Barefoot on the grass under open skies, surrounded by trees and the sounds of nature, made the experience feel more peaceful,' Anushka said. 'It was also about feeling connected to ourselves, to each other, and the world around us.' On this Yoga Day, Anushka revealed their special plan: 'We'll begin with 12 rounds of Surya Namaskar, followed by a short gratitude meditation, and writing down one intention each — something we want to carry forward with love and mindfulness.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Febre entre os homens de 40 anos, estimula a vontade e energia Baixa na libido Saiba Mais Undo Anushka's portrayal of Anika in Saru has already struck a chord with audiences, and her words reflect the same sincerity and warmth she brings to her screen roles.
