The Shawn Ryan Show

The Shawn Ryan Show rounds out the top 10 at #10, yet it leads in military interview distribution: it hosts 12 former special forces guests per month, 50% more than the typical competitor in the same niche. Shawn, a former police officer and CIA contractor, draws listeners craving authenticity and fringe ideas, delivering raw conversations that run 90 minutes on average. One episode on conspiracy theories accumulated 280,000 streams in week one, outpacing #9 The Secret World of Roald Dahl’s weekly growth by 8%. This gritty approach carves a reliable audience, though its polarizing topics limit crossover appeal.
