In a recent interview with The New York Times, Kylie Kelce reflected on the factors driving her podcast’s early success.
“Maybe it’s the promise that you’re not going to get lied to,” Kylie suggested, emphasizing the importance of authenticity in her content.
“I couldn’t care less about the charts. I’m focused on putting out content that people like to consume. If that puts us there [in the top spot] for a week, cool," she shared.
"If it puts us there for longer than that, cool. But I also don’t need to feed any conflict that’s created by it,” Kylie added.
Kylie Kelce reveals what motivates her
Although Kylie Kelce did not directly mention Joe Rogan, she acknowledged enjoying the reactions from his "triggered" listeners.
“That’s getting me going,” she admitted.
'OutKick’s Charly Arnolt, a prominent critic, praised Kylie’s podcast launch but tempered claims of her surpassing Rogan.
“To have a new podcast is a massive accomplishment,” Arnolt said, adding “But let’s be very clear—it’s only one episode. Is she on the level of Joe Rogan? Come on. No chance.”
Arnolt pointed out Rogan’s ability to secure high-profile guests such as Donald Trump and Elon Musk as a significant differentiator.
“The feminists and liberals on the left are having a field day because of her topping him this one week," she noted.
"They are trying to convince us Joe Rogan is no longer relevant because of Kylie Kelce stepping into the podcast space,” Arnolt added.

Kylie Kelce wants to interview Michelle Obama
Kylie Kelce expressed a desire to interview former first lady Michelle Obama on her podcast. “I would talk to Michelle Obama in a heartbeat,” she said.
Her left-leaning political stance aligns her with Taylor Swift, who is dating her brother-in-law Travis Kelce and has publicly supported Kamala Harris.
However, it contrasts with Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has been vocal about her support for Donald Trump.
Despite their political differences, Kylie and Brittany appear to maintain a cordial relationship.
Brittany congratulated Kylie on social media after she announced her fourth pregnancy, writing, “Ahhhhhh Congrats you guys!!!”
The Kelce family has experienced a surge in public attention following Travis' relationship with Taylor Swift.
Kylie has three children with her husband Jason Kelce and is expecting a fourth in 2025. Jason, a Philadelphia Eagles legend, played 13 years in the NFL before retiring.
