It's tough to just list out the "most popular" podcasts, man, because it depends on what you're into. But, if you're asking for some widely recognized ones, sure, I can name a few.

1. The Daily - This is a pretty heavy hitter from The New York Times. It's like they took the whole world of news and distilled it into 20 minutes of impactful audio.

2. Your Undivided Attention - Here's a podcast that made quite the leap in the charts in just a month. It's got a tech focus, so if you're into that, definitely check it out.

3. The Daily Source - This one's by Adam Curry, one of the guys who invented podcasting. Talk about OG status.

Remember, finding the right podcast for you is about exploring and discovering new things and ideas, man. It's one of the reasons why I love the medium. The algorithm doesn't dictate everything - there's still room for the underdog podcasts to make their mark.
