Top 10 Apple Podcasts — Top Shows (US) — April 26, 2026
On April 26, 2026, Apple Podcasts is dominated by news, true crime, and comfort-host conversations. The Daily holds the top slot, a recurring victory for The New York Times’ morning briefing. But look closer: Love Trapped, a narrative true-crime series from iHeart and Glass, crashes the top 5, signaling that audiences crave serialized drama alongside daily news. Good Hang with Amy Poehler at #8 proves that conversational celebrity podcasts still break through niche loyalties. This daily ranking of the most-listened podcasts in the US captures what Americans choose to hear on their commutes, during workouts, and while cooking. For brands and media analysts, these charts reveal shifting attention spans beyond algorithm-driven recommendations. Apple Podcasts refreshes this list every 24 hours based on aggregate listening data from US accounts.

Trend Analysis
True crime holds a monopoly: Crime Junkie (#2), Dateline NBC (#3), Love Trapped (#4), and Morbid (#10) occupy half the top 10. The Daily and Up First (#9) anchor news, while The Joe Rogan Experience (#5) remains the perennial wild card bridging news and conversation. Most surprising is Mick Unplugged—a Realm-hosted interview show that has been climbing steadily without major media buzz. Pod Save America (#7) continues to command political attention, and Good Hang shows that Amy Poehler’s brand still lures listeners. This list reveals a US public hungry for suspense and explanation, with a strong comfort in familiar voices. Expect true crime to remain a fixture, but watch for more personality-driven interview shows to squeeze in during Q2.
