Only about 15% of the top-ranked podcasts - which Pew defined here as appearing in the top 200 of either Apple Podcasts or Spotify in 2022 - focus on news. But of those news-focused podcasts, an overwhelming majority (89%) featured guests in at least one episode, a higher share than podcasts that were not news-focused.
Top news podcasts often take on a similar format with the host interviewing a fellow journalist - typically a newsroom colleague - about their reporting.
