Top trending podcasts on Spotify: August 25
Spotify Live
Spotify's branded live-audio feed jumps from #2 to #1. No widely reported talent booking for August 25 was attached at fetch time. The rank swap with Rogan is the why: the first-party row beat the long-running talk show for one snapshot.
The Joe Rogan Experience
Falls from #1 to #2. Wikipedia dates the show's start to December 24, 2009. Rogan remains the default talk flagship on Spotify's own charts even when this Trends MCP board puts Spotify Live first.
Crime Junkie
Holds #3. Audiochuck's true-crime show is unchanged from August 24.
The Shawn Ryan Show
Holds #4. Rank is unchanged.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Holds #5. Rank is unchanged. The Ringer comedy interview show stays in the same slot.
The Daily
Rises from #7 on August 24 to #6. The New York Times Company dated the first episode to February 1, 2017. The news show swaps with Theo Von on a Monday that included the Supreme Court and Canada tariff files dated August 24.
This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
Falls from #6 to #7. Rank change is one slot. No guest headline was required to explain the dip.
The Tucker Carlson Show
Holds #8. Rank is unchanged.
Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast
Holds #9. Rank is unchanged.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holds #10. Rank is unchanged.

What today's Spotify podcasts reveal
This is a first-party bump on an otherwise frozen talk board. Spotify Live at #1 is the platform's own live row, not a new indie show. Rogan at #2 through Armchair Expert at #10 is the same personality stack as August 24, with a one-slot news-comedy swap in the middle.
The Daily at #6 is the only news show, up one rank on a heavy news Monday. For podcast chart tooling, see best Spotify music trend research tools.
