On March 23, 2026, Apple Podcasts listeners in the US are tuning into a mix of news analysis, true crime, and personality-driven shows, with The Daily holding the top spot — a testament to the hunger for structured news amidst a fast-moving political landscape. This list, drawn from Apple Podcasts' most-listened chart, reflects what engaged American audiences actually pressed play on, not just what's critically acclaimed. Crime Junkie's steady grip at #3 and the surprising climb of The Secret World of Roald Dahl at #6 — tying into Netflix's adaptation buzz — show that comfort listening and pop culture deep dives are pulling equal weight with daily news. Meanwhile, shows like Pod Save America and Dateline NBC reinforce the dominance of political and true crime staples.
