Pod Save America

Pod Save America claims the #6 position, a political podcast from former Obama staffers that blends news analysis with progressive commentary. Each episode draws approximately 2.4 million downloads, a 15% decline from its 2024 peak, reflecting waning engagement compared to the faster-growing #7 Up First. The show's 60-minute deep dives still deliver 30% more expert interviews than the average political podcast, but its rank underscores that political content now trails crime and celebrity formats.
