Best Tech Podcasts 2026: Top 20 Shows Ranked by Data
How this technology podcast ranking is built
CastFox tracks the Apple Podcasts Technology category every day and keeps the history, so this is chart data rather than an editor's shortlist. Between February 24 and September 8, 2026 we took 24 snapshots of the category top 100, saw 205 different shows pass through it, and followed each one across the 78 country charts we cover. The order below follows the most recent snapshot, so it moves as the chart moves.
This is the most stable category we track in this group. Only 205 shows cycled through the top 100 across the window, well under the churn in Marketing or Entrepreneurship, and most of the upper chart held its place in all 24 snapshots. Artificial intelligence is the reason the rest of it moves. AI-first shows now occupy several of the top ten positions, including The AI Daily Brief at an average rank of 5.7, AI Business Daily which reached rank 2, and Building AI Boston which held an average of 8.8 with 33 episodes to its name.
It also travels further than most categories. Acquired and the Lex Fridman Podcast appear in all 78 country charts we track, All-In in 77, and Hard Fork, Apple Events and Lenny's Podcast in 76 each. Each entry links to its full CastFox profile with audience estimates, chart history in every country we track, reviews and contact details. For the version ranked by consistency across all 24 snapshots rather than by today's position, read the companion post linked above.
