Podcast guesting, month by month

Every month we publish who guested on the most different podcasts, which shows booked the most guests, and how the month compared with the one before — detected automatically across every major podcast, own shows excluded. Each note is a fixed page you can link to and cite.

Method: a guest appearance is a person we track appearing as a guest on an episode released that month. Rankings count distinct shows, not episodes, so one interview syndicated across several feeds counts once, and a host's own podcast never counts. Rankings are limited to people with a public record (a Wikidata entry).
