The Kelce family is making waves once again, this time with Kylie Kelce’s new podcast, “Not Gonna Lie.” Launched just two weeks ago, it has quickly ascended to the top of the podcast charts, even unseating the highly popular “The Joe Rogan Experience” in its first week on both Apple and Spotify platforms. Since then, “Not Gonna Lie” and Rogan’s podcast have been alternating in the top two spots. In contrast, the existing podcast from Kylie’s brothers-in-law, “New Heights,” is currently positioned at No. 46 on Apple and No. 83 on Spotify.
Kylie, a field hockey coach, has expressed that she is not concerned about rankings. In an interview with the New York Times, she stated, “I couldn’t care less about the charts,” and indicated that she’s not interested in fueling any feuds that listeners may perceive based on the popularity of her podcast compared to others.
The podcast’s success can be attributed to Kylie’s relatable persona. Married into the charismatic Kelce family, she maintains an impressive normalcy in her approach. Her humor, genuine nature, and candid discussions on motherhood resonate well with her audience. She also keeps episodes around 45 minutes long, acknowledging the time constraints of busy women.
While it remains to be seen if her podcast will sustain the high numbers achieved in its launch, her initial reception shows great promise. The rise of “Not Gonna Lie” illustrates a growing trend of intimate and truthful storytelling that captures the interest of listeners.
This news highlights the potential for diverse voices in the podcasting landscape, bringing refreshing content that breaks away from conventional norms. As Kylie continues to develop her platform, it could foster new conversations and connections among her audience, generating positive engagement across various topics. It’s exciting to see how she will grow her influence in this dynamic medium.
