Business is one of the most popular podcasts genres in the U.S., reaching close to ten million Americans weekly. Despite its popularity and broad appeal, it’s not talked about nearly as often as other popular genres like Comedy, True Crime, or News. As of Q1 2026, Edison Podcast Metrics™ shows that Business is the seventh most popular podcast genre among weekly U.S. consumers 13+, surpassing Religion & Spirituality, Health & Fitness, and Music, among others. This week, our newsletter shines a spotlight on the ten Business podcasts with the largest U.S. weekly audiences.
The Business podcast category includes a wide range of shows focusing on personal finance, corporate management and finance, entrepreneurship, and wealth management. The Business podcast with the largest weekly U.S. audience is Planet Money from NPR. The Indicator from Planet Money, another NPR Business show, comes in at #10 on our list. The podcasts in second and third do not trail too far behind the top spot: The Ramsey Show from The Ramsey Network and The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett.
Other interesting and informative titles such as How I Built This with Guy Raz, The Tim Ferriss Show, and PBD Podcast also land a spot in the top ten. Find the rest of the list in the graphic below.
A full ranking of shows by genre (and often by sub-genre) is available via subscription to Edison Podcast Metrics. Genre is defined as the podcast’s ‘Primary Category’ in Apple Podcasts and is selected by the show’s producer. Rankings include consumption of video podcasts as well as audio-only.
