Chris Molanphy reflects on the origins and depth of his chart fandom, pondering existential questions like: What makes a person want to track these rankings? Why do we care about what, or who, is No. 1?

Audacy continues its focus on sports as a productive venue for advertisers. Following up its study titled Audio and Podcasts: Best Venues for Consumer Engagement in Sports, the company now announces a webinar event on March 23 at 2pm ET. As with the previous release, 'avidity' will be discussed as the most important currency in sports marketing.
The audio programming blends today's hottest music with real-time conversation, guiding listeners through what's breaking now - from rising creators to new hits, throwback rediscoveries, podcast spotlights and trending topics.
A new app called TikTok was ascendant, bringing a whole new kind of vertical video to phones everywhere. And another app - not as popular, but growing fast, and already hugely influential among the tech set - looked like it might have an entirely new social idea on its hands. It was called Clubhouse, and it was a huge bet that audio might be the future.
The discoverability problem is that the medium still hasn't figured out a reliable, easily reproducible way to capture and hold a listener's attention. It's easier to stumble upon video curated and served via algorithm than it is to click several buttons in a dedicated app in order to listen to a piece of audio.
Describing himself as where underground journalist Nardwuar (disarmingly well researched) meets NPR legend Terry Gross (sensitive, direct) meets late talkshow host Dick Cavett (intellectual, sophisticated), he is a freakishly intuitive listener. The way you construct the narrative of my life is so true that it's just a little startling, actor Michelle Williams told him in 2023.
I did in the earlier seasons know that this was a possibility. I wasn't by any means blindsided... it wasn't like I turned the page and gasped. I actually think they felt there was something happening that then became breadcrumbs as opposed to the other way around.
his community-oriented multimedia brand Do Good Crew launched last month with his new podcast, The Person Who Believed In Me, which features thought-leaders reflecting on the people who took a chance on them when no one else would. And his first guest? None other than Oprah Winfrey.
Transparent disclosures emerge as critical for creator partnerships, ensuring compliance with evolving regulations impacting the influencer marketing space and protecting both brands and creators from legal complications.
Paradise is a good show. I have to get that out of the way early, because I do think that it's fun and well-plotted and knotted with enough twists to sustain a strong momentum throughout its eight-episode seasons. The premise is simple enough, though doled out slowly throughout the first episode: President Cal Bradford (played with charm by James Marsden) is murdered, and Secret Service agent Xavier Collins (a sometimes-bored, sometimes-transcendent Sterling K. Brown) is trying to figure out whodunit.
Theroux, 55, might be north London dad in appearance—specs, grey T-shirt, black jeans, sneakers—but he's the grandmaster of both the immersive documentary and interview form. The son of American writer Paul Theroux (a nepo baby before they existed), he has built a 30year career in television, much of it at the BBC, making a virtue of being a socially awkward verbivore, hypercurious, super-funny.
In musical theater, a 'charm song' is a number in the middle of the show that serves no plot purpose but to make people endear themselves to the characters and the show. On Broadway right now, go check out Ragtime for a great example, in the baseball number 'What a Game,' which doesn't advance any story but is cute, fun, and drives home a larger point in the show.
There's an inherent kind of self-denial, the subject of The Handyman of West Texas, identified only as Mickey, said in a recent interview. We all have these thoughts. But we lie to ourselves and try to conform to how you're supposed to be repressing your own pleasure.
A dire white paper published by three administrators at the University of Louisville about how manifestly untenable and economically punitive the current state of college sports is, even for elite programs. The report is indeed very dire, and accurate insofar as it assesses that, whatever the future of college sports is, it's probably won't involve the NCAA and is also unlikely to get easier for non-elite institutions in an increasingly consolidating national business.
In an annual cycle perhaps representing a new-year resolution trend, the February total was 12,852 launches, compared to 18,863 in January. In the chart above, the February total is revealed to be not only a sharp monthly downturn, but a full 13-month low point.
His heart did in fact stop beating during the incident on Dec. 9, 2025. He said that he does not really remember much about it, but that he was told he stopped breathing and that he was turning purple. Dick said the only thing he did recall was waking up in the ambulance.
Todd was the newest member of our crew, he quickly became family. His love for fishing and his strong work ethic earned everyone's respect right away. His smile was contagious, and the sound of his laughter coming up the wheelhouse stairs or over the deck hailer is something we will carry with us always.
Rogan frames the presence of ICE as a direct response to mass fraud in Minnesota, justifies ICE's need for total anonymity to carry out their work, warns one of the real problems is that ICE might wrongly be seen as villains, and expresses sympathy for ICE agents. While lamenting Good's shooting as unfortunate, Rogan says she seemed crazy and out of her fucking mind, speculating she was a deliberate agitator.
McCarthy says Manchester United didn't pursue a deal for Nigeria striker and 2023 African player of the year, Victor Osimhen, because they didn't want to sign a player they would lose to Afcon for two months in the middle of a Premier League season.
Dedicated to culturally resonant, premium video and audio podcasts across platforms. It is founded by three women of color who came together after being laid off in an environment Eaton describes as 'a nationwide pushback on DEI efforts, continued media consolidation, and the looming disruption of AI.' The new effort promises to operate 'at the intersection of creativity, technology, purpose, and intelligence.'
