Best podcasts · Updated

The best podcasts in 2026, ranked.

We follow long-form podcasts and cut the minutes worth watching from their episodes. These lists rank them by what we found, and only ever list shows we follow.

How we rank: Each moment we’ve cut from a show earns a point, plus one when an AI builder is the one talking and one when its episode cleared our views bar, and a moment’s points halve every 90 days after its episode came out.
