Anti-Trump Podcaster Who Dethroned Joe Rogan Wants to Beat Fox News
The MeidasTouch Podcast, a progressive, anti-Trump show hosted by three brothers—Brett, Ben and Jordan Meiselas—became America's most popular podcast this month, knocking off Joe Rogan after a prolonged period of domination by conservative or pro-Trump voices.
MeidasTouch is an American progressive media company and describes itself as a "pro-democracy news network." They officially ranked as the number one podcast in the U.S. in February, according to Podscribe data, with 57.7 million downloads and views per month, an increase of 120 percent.
... Playboard YouTube chart, which tracks the popularity of YouTube channels, the MeidasTouch Network was in first place as of February 23 with 9.3 million views and likes, surpassing Fox News.
Ben Meiselas is an attorney who represented former NFL player Colin Kaepernick, Brett Meiselas is an Emmy-winning video director who previously worked for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and Jordan Meiselas is a marketing supervisor.
Newsweek spoke with Brett Meiselas about the podcast's rise, the shifting political landscape and their mission to beat Fox News.
A month into the second Trump administration, the rise of the left-leaning MeidasTouch podcast may be signaling a shift in tone among Americans. It comes as Trump's approval rating fell by 13 points, 33 days into his term, according to a recent IPSOS poll.
"People want unapologetic, pro-democracy media that isn't afraid to call things as they are," he said. "They're looking for voices that fight for truth and meet them where they are. That's why MeidasTouch is thriving."
The youth vote broke big toward Trump, with the president gaining 11 percentage points from 2020 among voters 18-29, according to AP analysis. President Joe Biden received 61 percent from that age group in 2020, while Vice President Kamala Harris was able to only get 51 percent of the demographic in 2024.
The gains among young and first-time voters were cited as a potential ideological shift for the youth vote. But support among the age group has dropped since the election, with a survey from The Economist/YouGov released on February 12 revealing that the president's net favorability rating among ages 18-29 is minus-18 points.
