Top 10 Apple Podcasts — Top Shows (US) — March 26, 2026
March 26, 2026, and Apple Podcasts listeners are hungry for news, true crime, and celebrity banter. The Daily snatches the top spot, proving that even in a fragmented media landscape,The New York Times' morning briefing remains the default commute companion. Crime Junkie and Dateline NBC lock in the second and fourth slots, showing our collective appetite for murders, mysteries, and courtroom drama hasn't wavered. The surprise? Call Her Daddy surges to third, and Amy Poehler's new Good Hang debuts at sixth, marking a shift toward female-driven interview comedy right when the industry is betting big on podcast personalities. In the US, where podcasting has become a primary news source for millions, this list reflects a polarized audience — splitting time between hard news (Up First at seven, Pod Save America at eight), escapist crime, and intimate chats. Love Trapped and Mick Unplugged crashing the top ten signals that short-form, serialized storytelling is sneaking past established giants. Data sourced from Apple Podcasts' daily most-listened chart, based on aggregate listening time across all US episodes on March 26, 2026.

Trend Analysis
News and true crime dominate — four of the top five spots belong to these genres, with The Daily, Crime Junkie, Dateline NBC, and Up First all pulling massive audiences. Joe Rogan’s endurance at fifth proves his interview format remains a cultural anchor, but the real story is the rise of personality-driven chat shows: Call Her Daddy at three and Good Hang at six signal that audiences are craving unscripted, female-led conversation in a space long dominated by male hosts. Love Trapped at nine, a neo-scripted drama from iHeart, is the wildcard — its inclusion suggests listeners are experimenting with narrative fiction during the March lull between major news cycles. Mick Unplugged, a career-deep-dive podcast from Realm, sneaking in at ten shows that niche interview content can still break through if the guest roster is strong enough. This list reveals a US audience that wants both to stay informed and to escape — the tension between these drives the market. Expect more duplication of this hybrid format in the coming months.
