Hot Mess with Alix Earle

For the past two years, The Joe Rogan Experience reigned supreme at the top of Spotify's podcast charts, and it seemed like Joe Rogan's position was unassailable to the disappointment of many. However, a surprising turn of events occurred at the end of September, when he was unexpectedly toppled from his throne by an unlikely contender: a 22-year-old undergraduate student at the University of Miami.
This young woman isn't widely recognized, and her podcast, Hot Mess, isn't particularly captivating. Nevertheless, according to Spotify's internal statistics, her show is currently outperforming The New York Times' The Daily, Fallon and Colbert's Strike Force Five, and NPR News Now in terms of popularity. This is an achievement that would typically take most podcasters years to attain, but her podcast swiftly ascended to the number one spot in less than a week.

This is propaganda because she has such a huge fan base and people love listening to her and seeing her all over Tik Tok so she decided to create a podcast because people want more of her and this is already a massive hit.
