One million Americans are on X - mostly under age 45.

I think Tucker has the second largest podcast after Rogan. They can get from 10 million to 40 million views. Lots of podcasts have between one and two million viewers like “Breaking Points” with Kristal Ball & Saagar. I like Breaking Points because they cover news of the day in detail.

GROK - General Podcast Trends: In the U.S., 55% of the population (about 158 million people) listen to podcasts monthly, with 40% (115 million) listening weekly
