Apple Music releases a podcast chart that ranks one of the most popular podcasts at a point in time. This year’s list included podcasts such as, ‘New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce,’ and ‘Call Her Daddy,‘ amongst others. These podcasts have brewed a robust fan base of their own but how well do they fair against the likes of, ‘JRE’?

As per the aforementioned charts, Travis Kelce’s podcast is not even competing with Rogan. The Joe Rogan Experience podcast stands tall at number one and Kelce’s podcast is at number seven. Moreover, it bears mention that this chart is limited to viewership in the United States of America. Also, it is worth noting that this revelation came after Spotify levied the exclusive rights it had over the podcast.
