Top 6 Celebrity Podcasts In 2025 —And Why Everyone Is Tuning In

The world of celebrity podcasts keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Looking from the outside in, it may feel like it is an oversaturated market.

A running joke “make podcast equipment more expensive” has infiltrated its way through social media – but we are here to say that there is more than enough equipment to go around.

In fact, celebrity podcasts have been on the rise in order to connect and feel closer to their audience. Using audio and visuals, listeners and viewers have the option to tune in or watch their favorite celebrity podcasts like a TV show.

WHY ARE CELEBRITIES GETTING MORE INVOLVED IN THE PODCAST SPACE?

• Podcasts let celebrities show a more authentic, unfiltered side of themselves.
• They take the experiences they are known for and expand upon them. 
• It’s a way for them to stay connected with fans and talk about topics they care about – not just their latest movie, album, or product launch.
• Some celebs are using podcasts to rebrand or stay in the spotlight between big projects.
• It’s also a smart business move – podcasts bring in different ads and sponsors, opening up other business opportunities.
