01 / Beyond the Big OneWhy look past Joe Rogan for podcast guests?
The Joe Rogan Experience is the obvious place to vote for podcast guests, and dLogos already covered which names fans are requesting most for that show. But Rogan's audience isn't the only one large enough, or loud enough, to shape a booking decision. Seven other shows currently sit near the top of the charts, and each one has an audience that already argues about who should turn up next.
According to Pew Research Center's 2024 study of top-ranked podcasts, guests appeared in roughly a third of the 24,004 episodes it tracked across 434 shows, and 76% of those podcasts featured at least one guest. Guests aren't a rare event on a big show. They're the format. That's what makes fan input about who those guests should be a live question on every one of the seven podcasts below, not a hypothetical one.
02 / The Shortlist7 chart-climbing podcasts where your guest vote could carry weight
1. The Diary of a CEO
Steven Bartlett's show landed at No. 2 globally on Spotify's 2025 Wrapped podcast list, trailing only Rogan, and it cracked the U.S. top 20 for the first time in Edison Research's Q2 2026 rankings, a record high for the show. It already has its own page on dLogos, where a guest nomination can start right away.
2. Call Her Daddy
Alex Cooper's show held at No. 4 in both Spotify's 2025 Wrapped list and Edison's Q2 2026 U.S. rankings. It already has its own page on dLogos, so a vote for a guest here doesn't start from zero.
3. Huberman Lab
Andrew Huberman's show jumped to No. 22 in Edison's Q2 2026 U.S. rankings while sitting at No. 6 globally on Spotify's Wrapped list. It has its own page on dLogos already, and its audience tends to research a recommendation before submitting one, exactly the kind of audience a structured vote is built for.
4. This Past Weekend with Theo Von
Theo Von's show held at No. 8 in Edison's Q2 2026 U.S. rankings and No. 5 globally on Spotify's Wrapped list. It also has a page on dLogos where nominations are already open.
5. Modern Wisdom
Chris Williamson's show placed inside the global top 10 on Spotify's Wrapped list, the only philosophy-and-self-improvement show to do so. It already has a page on dLogos, and a guest who lands here gets an audience that reads the source material before the episode airs.
6. The Shawn Ryan Show
Shawn Ryan's show jumped two spots to No. 4 in Podtrac's November 2025 U.S. rankings, and it has a page on dLogos already live. Its audience leans toward veterans, intelligence, and law enforcement guests, so a specific, well-argued nomination stands out more than it would on a general-interest show.
7. The Tucker Carlson Show
Tucker Carlson's show landed at No. 10 globally on Spotify's Wrapped list and climbed two spots to No. 17 in that same November 2025 Podtrac ranking, and it has a page on dLogos as well. It's one of the most argued-about interview shows running right now, so a guest nomination here tends to pick up votes fast.
03 / The MechanicHow does a guest vote actually reach a host?
On dLogos, a guest vote works the same way no matter which of these seven shows it's aimed at. You nominate a guest for a specific podcast, other fans add their vote to that nomination, and the count stays public and permanent instead of getting buried in a comment section. A nomination with 40 votes attached to a real name and a real show is different evidence than a pile of podcast guest requests scattered across Reddit threads and reply sections.
Every nomination, question, and pledge on the platform is built to be shared, not just posted. A fan who rallies a nomination for Huberman Lab or the Shawn Ryan Show isn't just adding one more vote. They're pulling in everyone who follows them who wanted that same guest but hadn't said so yet.
A vote with a name and a show attached beats a feed full of comments that just say "get them on." — On why structured demand travels further than scattered requests
You can find open nominations for any of the seven shows above, along with every other show on the platform, through the open nomination leaderboard, which ranks demand by momentum across the whole site rather than by algorithm.
