The biggest climb into a category's top spot belongs to The Moth, now rank 1 in arts. Its format is a constraint, not a genre: real people telling true stories from memory, without notes, recorded in front of a live audience. That bare-stage, single-voice structure separates it from the scripted, produced storytelling also climbing this week — Legends of Avantris and Scary Horror Stories by Dr. NoSleep both build their rise through dramatized scenes and production design, where The Moth's rise comes from removing production and leaving only the person and the story. The Toast and I've Got Questions with Sinead Bovell, climbing into their own top tens, sit closer to The Moth's format: one host, one conversation, no cast. In sports, both climbers — FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast at rank 8 and Josh Pate's College Football Show at rank 11 — are published by iHeartPodcasts.
