And if you’re looking to dig deeper into one genre, try our specialist lists on for size (you’ll find them below). In our list of the best podcasts right now, we've got political podcasts that look behind the news, comedy podcasts with your favourite funny people, and plenty of those all-important investigative whodunnits to keep you up at night. Kate invites directors, producers, stars from famous reality TV shows, but she also includes prominent names from fashion and showbiz and even singers, so listeners can always look forward to surprise guests. But hey, there’s got to be room for the golden oldies, too – as we await its fourth series, notorious investigative podcast ‘Serial’ is our number one. This podcast is great for people who are curious about the workings and behind-the-scene machinations of reality TV productions. BBC Three’s April 2023 release, the fascinating ‘A Very British Cult’, has taken the world by storm (and made it to our top ten), while 2022’s ‘Unreal’ has claimed our fourth spot for being equal parts fun and nostalgic. That means that download numbers don’t necessarily align with this chart. Keep in mind, the Apple Podcast charts have been reported to be based on new subscribers, weighted for recency. It should automatically update every few days. So 2023 is in full swing, and podcast releases are showing no sign of slowing down. This is a list of the top 100 podcasts in the United States on Apple Podcasts (iTunes).
