It’s rare for podcasting king Joe Rogan to be dethroned from number one on Spotify’s charts. The Joe Rogan Experience has been the most popular podcast on the streaming app for the last four years and almost always holds the top spot, occasionally jostling with competitors like Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy.
But a controversial new podcast about mind reading has soared to number one, knocking Rogan off his perch in the USA. The Telepathy Tapes is a series which explores claims that certain non-verbal autistic children can read minds. The podcast is presented by documentary maker Ky Dickens, who says she is a “science nerd”.
