What today's Spotify podcasts reveal
Ranks 1 through 7 did not move. That is a fixture chart: Rogan, crime, two male interview comics, Poehler, The Daily, Carlson.
The only motion is among 8-10, where a comedy show and an NPR brief swap around Armchair Expert. No September 5 episode-drop headline was required to explain the shuffle.
For catalog metadata on shows like these, see Listen Notes pricing. The ranks here come from Trends MCP, not that directory.
The snapshot is 08:01:32 UTC on September 5, 2026. Ranks 1 through 7 are unchanged versus September 4, a 24-hour hold. Up First's climb from 10 to 9 and Matt and Shane's drop from 8 to 10 is a two-rank comedy-versus-news swap at the floor. Good Hang at 5 and The Daily at 6 have now sat in those slots across both mornings.
Crime Junkie at 2 and Shawn Ryan at 3 make a true-crime then veteran-interview sandwich under Rogan. Theo Von at 4 is the other comedy interview fixture. Tucker Carlson at 7 did not move either. That is 7 frozen rows and 3 moving rows, a 30 percent shuffle confined to the last three ranks. No show in the ten required a September 5 chart stunt to stay listed.
