List of trending podcasts on Spotify
1. The Joe Rogan Experience – Joe Rogan
This is the official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan. Some of his episodes are absolutely mind-blowing. The ones with Naval Raviaknt, Jordan Peterson, chuck Palhanuik are absolutely a must-listen. He asks amazing questions which keeps the gusts honest and also helps us think about the same topics as well. Each episode goes in depth on one particular topic based on the field of expertise of the guest.

5. Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain – Emma Chamberlain and Ramble
Emma has a lot on her mind. Good thing she has a podcast to talk about it all. Appropriately named, anything really does go on this podcast. Thoughts, conversations, and advice on topics from relationships and dealing with failure, to the trials and tribulations of being a cat mom, and ridiculous stories with friends we can all relate to.
It’s raw, intimate, and nothing is off-limits (seriously, Anything Goes). It may be serious, it’ll mostly be funny, and it’ll always be entertaining. New episodes every Thursday.

6. Call Her Daddy – Alex Cooper
Call Her Daddy started as a podcast and evolved into a global movement. Alex Cooper bulldozed a lane of her own, spitting in the face of misogyny and putting a modern twist on feminism.
The woman-led empire produces raw, relevant, and provocative conversations that promote sexual liberty and personal empowerment while stripping away any barriers of judgment. Strap in and enjoy, and more importantly – welcome to the Daddy Gang.
