Podcasts have exploded in popularity over the last five years, with more people listening in the States than anywhere else. So, which are the most popular right now?
Market research company Edison Research charts the rise and fall of the most popular podcasts using listening data, rather than solely relying on downloads.
True crime and news pods have had consistent successes in recent years, according to the market research company's senior vice president, Tom Webster.
He told Newsweek following the latest quarterly chart release: "What I find most compelling is the strong movement by some of the independent shows on the chart.
"It's a testament to how remarkable this medium is that both large networks and independent creators continue to be able to amass a sizable audience."
These are the 20 most listened to podcasts in America right now:
20. The Dan Bongino Show
Right-wing political commentator and author Dan Bongino tackles issues, which according to the podcast description "debunks both liberal and Republican establishment rhetoric."
Bongino, is a former Secret Service agent who protected Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, who later became a fixture on Sean Hannity's Fox show but graduated to his own primetime Saturday slot on the network.
His Facebook posts regularly top the social site's trending charts, but earlier this year invested in Parler, a social alternative popular with conservatives before it went offline.
His podcast has moved up one position since the last chart released three months ago, breaking into the top 20.
19. WTF with Marc Maron Podcast
Stand-up comedian Marc Maron welcomes comedians, actors, directors, writers, musicians and folks from all walks of life to his home for revealing conversations.

Maron's podcast has climbed six places since the last chart.
18. Morbid: A True Crime Podcast
A true crime anthology podcast hosted by Alaina Urquhart and Ashleigh "Ash" Kelley, who share their fascination with serial killers and other morbid subjects.
They cover serial killers, unsolved mysteries, spooky history, paranormal happenings, conspiracy theories and "anything that sends chills down your spine and gets your mind working overtime", the podcast creators say.
A message from the hosts on the pod's website reads: "Together, we realized our collective knowledge of serial killers and morbid fascinations was something we could share with other kindred weirdos and thus, Morbid: A True Crime Podcast was born".
