Parla Now Has YouTube Podcast Top Charts by Category (Yes, With View Counts)


If you've ever tried to figure out which podcast YouTube shows are actually getting traction, you know how frustrating it can be. No clean charts, no reliable rankings, no easy way to see who’s winning in your niche.
Until now.
Parla is the first podcast search engine to offer YouTube Top Charts for podcasts—broken down by category. That means you can finally see which shows are crushing it on YouTube, how many subscribers they have, and what kind of views their episodes are pulling in.
What You’ll See in the Charts
For each category—from Business to True Crime to Health & Fitness—you can now explore:
-
Top YouTube podcast shows ranked by subscriber count and reach
-
Subscriber count and total view metrics for each show
-
Episode-level data for matched shows, including:
-
Number of views
-
Date posted
-
Direct link to the video
-
In other words, you get the full picture—who’s growing fast, what’s trending, and which shows are actually pulling in an audience (not just uploading into the void).
Why This Matters
YouTube is the most popular platform for podcast listening in the U.S. (yep, even more than Spotify and Apple Podcasts), and creators are leaning into video more than ever. But most podcast tools still ignore YouTube entirely or treat it like an afterthought.
Parla puts YouTube front and center, right alongside RSS data—so you can search, discover, and prioritize shows that are actually making noise where people are watching.
Whether you're trying to:
-
Pitch a guest or partnership to a top creator
-
Find high-visibility shows in your niche
-
Track how your own show stacks up
-
Or just get smarter about the podcast landscape on YouTube...
Now you’ve got charts that actually help.
TL;DR
YouTube podcast discovery just got a lot easier.
Parla is now the only podcast search engine with YouTube Top Charts by category, complete with:
-
Subscriber + view counts
-
Episode-level stats
-
Direct links to videos
