SpotlightHow we rank Interviews podcasts
Every podcast on WhichPodcast is ranked using WP Score — our own proprietary algorithm that weighs audience reach, episode consistency, cross-platform presence, and listener engagement signals across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. Unlike single-platform metrics, WP Score reflects a show's true footprint across the entire podcast landscape. The interviews podcasts above are the highest-scoring shows in this genre right now, updated regularly as new data comes in.
Want a more personal recommendation? Our podcast discovery quiz matches you to the right show based on your mood, how much time you have, and whether you want a household name or a hidden gem.
Frequently asked questions
What are the best interview podcasts in 2026?
The best interview podcasts in 2026 range from celebrity chat shows like SmartLess and Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend to serious long-form conversations with business leaders and scientists. WhichPodcast ranks them by global listener data so you always see the most-listened-to interview shows first.
What's the difference between an interview podcast and a society & culture podcast?
Interview podcasts are defined by their format — a host speaking with a different guest each episode. Society & culture podcasts are defined by their subject matter. Many interview shows sit in both categories, but if you want a show where the conversation itself is the point, interview podcasts are what you're looking for.
