Other categories

Apple also announced the top 10 in other categories, including Top Series and Most Shared Shows, both of which have "The Telepathy Tapes" at number one. The podcast with the most followers is "The Mel Robbins Podcast," and the most subscribed-to podcast is "The Daily," according to the tech and entertainment giant.

Among the top new podcasts is "Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce," which garnered second place. Kylie Kelce is a mother of four and the wife of former NFL player Jason Kelce.

Some of Kelce's guests have included her mother-in-law, Donna Kelce, as well as former first lady Michelle Obama. During the podcast, Kelce walks the line between sharing details about her family while also guarding her privacy.

“People can listen and you're just going to get the straightforward, blunt, honest truth," Kelce said during a recent interview with USA TODAY. "If I don't talk about it at all, it's because it's something that I want to keep private,” she said. “We also are doing all of this while we are raising our children.”
