What today's Spotify podcasts reveal
Ranks 1 through 4 are frozen for a second day. The movement is all in the news-and-interview middle: Poehler up one, The Daily down one, Tucker up two, NPR's Up First in at 10.
Spotify Live's exit after 8 yesterday and 2 the day before is a three-day collapse of a platform-native live row. The replacement is a weekday news briefing, not another live show.
True crime at 2 is the only non-interview, non-news fixture in the top 5. The rest of the chart is talk.
