Top 15 Podcasts That Blew Up on TikTok in 2025

The TikTok effect is real, and it’s bigger than ever in 2025. Some of the most buzzed-about moments on the app aren’t dances or skits anymore, but clips from podcasts.

Yep, full-on podcasts. Snippets of hot takes, wild confessions, and laugh-out-loud rants are getting chopped into 60-second vertical gold and hitting millions of For You pages in hours.

But here’s the kicker: going viral on TikTok isn’t just about clout. It’s launched podcasts into entirely new territory, more listeners, bigger guests, and in some cases, TV deals.

And while podcasting used to feel like a slow grind, TikTok’s short-form boost has created a kind of fast lane.

If a creator knows how to cut a punchy moment, they’re halfway to the top charts.

1. 2 Old 4 TikTok

This podcast thrives on relatability. Dena and Catalina’s hook isn’t just that they’re older than the stereotypical TikTok user — it’s that they fully embrace being “out of the loop” while still keeping up better than most.

What made them pop off on TikTok in 2025 was their recurring series breaking down obscure trends with zero judgment and tons of humor.

For example, their episode about the “Silent Vlog” aesthetic, where Gen Zers post mundane but beautifully edited day-in-the-life videos, went viral because it perfectly captured how bizarre yet soothing the trend was.

The clip got picked up by TikTok creators who felt seen, especially those over 30 navigating the app without irony. Their production quality (both audio and video clips) is clean, making their TikToks extremely shareable.

2. TikTok For You (Official Podcast)

The official podcast from TikTok, hosted by Brittany Broski — aka the “Kombucha Girl”  was already starting with a leg up. But what gave it legs was Brittany’s ability to coax genuinely new and engaging stories out of guests who’ve already shared their origin stories a million times.

In 2025, her episode with Addison Rae, where they talked candidly about fame burnout, went viral for its rawness. That 45-second clip showed a side of Addison nobody had seen before, and users flooded the comments saying they appreciated the vulnerability.

Plus, TikTok’s algorithm tends to boost its own branded content, and when the clips are this good, they hit hard.

3. TikTalk Radio

@tiktalkradio Even creators with 3m+ followers stress about views- you’re not alone! ✨ New episode up featuring @autumnsklein #tiktalkradio #tiktoktips #tiktokgrowth #growontiktok #creators #socialmediamarketing ♬ Paris – Else

Victoria Jameson Krath doesn’t just talk theory — she shares spreadsheets, timelines, content calendars, and battle-tested strategies.

A TikTok she posted in early 2025, showing how she tripled a client’s reach by using three-part storytelling formats (hook, escalation, CTA,) hit over 3 million views.

She also broke down why 8 a.m. EST is the most effective time for B2B conte, — based on real data. For creators looking to monetize, that’s gold.

Her clips feel like quick masterclasses, and they get bookmarked like crazy.

4. I Need To Talk TikTok

Rachel Chapman’s show went big because it filled a niche that no one realized was needed: comedians obsessing over TikTok trends the same way they would over pop culture news or Bravo TV.

In early 2025, a TikTok from her episode discussing the “NPC Live Stream” phenomenon, where people role-play as AI characters for donations, exploded.

Rachel and her guest were baffled, amused, and deeply entertained, which perfectly mirrored the audience’s reaction to the trend.

The show clips well because it’s high-energy and feels like you’re listening in on your funniest friends spiraling over internet weirdness.

5. More Than Just A Pretty TikTok

Sophia and Didi don’t just talk TikTok — they treat it as the cultural touchstone it is for their generation. What made them catch fire in 2025 was their blend of sincerity and sarcasm.

One viral moment came when they dissected the growing “manifestation aesthetic” trend, where users post morning routines with crystals, journaling, and $17 smoothies.

Their TikTok clip both poked fun at the privilege behind it and acknowledged the mental health appeal, striking a balance most creators miss.

Gen Z loves their self-aware tone, and their content gets stitched by users who either agree wholeheartedly or want to argue.

6. Don’t Sleep on TikTok

Hakeem Valles brought a much-needed lens to TikTok: business results without fluff.

One of the show’s biggest TikTok moments came from his interview with a handmade soap business owner who used TikTok Lives to drive 5-figure days.

That 30-second clip showing her setup from lighting to pitching became a blueprint for small biz creators. Hakeem’s sports background and creator-first mindset help him ask smart, tactical questions.

His clips always provide a “you can do this too” moment that gets reshared in entrepreneurial circles.

7. The TikTok Podcast

This one carved out a lane by bringing cross-generational conversations into the TikTok world.

Think parents and creators having serious conversations about culture, tech, and influence.

A TikTok clip from their episode with a political meme creator discussing algorithm bias in 2025 struck a chord.

The clip didn’t feel like a rant — it was thoughtful, nuanced, and ripe for discussion.

That’s why it got reposted in debates across PoliticalTok and NewsTok. It’s the kind of podcast that gets people thinking and arguing, which is perfect for TikTok’s engagement-hungry feed.

8. TikTok Famous

Miranda and Jenna aren’t trying to pretend they’ve figured it all out — and that’s what makes the pod shine.

Their honesty about trying (and failing) to go viral is hilarious and relatable.

One of their biggest TikTok moments was a side-splitting story about how Jenna spent $300 on props for a TikTok skit that flopped, only to go viral a week later for an unscripted, angry car rant.

Their “Weekly Fail” segments always perform well on TikTok because creators relate to the chaos. It’s authentic content about content creation.

9. TikTok Marketing Podcast

Sam and Joel have been on the backend of viral growth for years, and they break down exactly how to do it for brands.

In 2025, one clip about a campaign that used TikTok’s new “Search Ads” feature got over 1.5 million views.

They explained the shift in how Gen Z uses TikTok as a search engine and how brands should optimize captions accordingly.

No hype, just steps, and that’s why marketers eat it up.

10. How To Grow On TikTok with Shayla Terkalas

Shayla’s micro-podcast format is tailor-made for TikTok. She drops highly specific, platform-native advice.

One viral moment? A 15-second breakdown of why the first 2 seconds of your video should always feature either text or movement to trigger retention.

She’s constantly testing strategies and showing results in real-time, which makes her super credible to aspiring creators and consultants.

Her series on “Hooks that Hooked” got shared in content creator Discords and Facebook groups across the board.

11. BizTok for TikTok

Kyle Kaplanis’s show took off because it wasn’t just creator-focused; it was about what works in niche industries.

In 2025, a clip where he interviews a dentist who built a 6-figure side hustle using TikTok (and answered dental questions with memes) exploded.

The episode became a hit among professionals trying to crack social media.

It proved TikTok wasn’t just for kids or influencers, it’s a platform where boring industries go viral with the right angle.

12. TikTok Conservatives

This podcast went viral thanks to its unapologetic tone and its niche: conservative creators reacting to TikTok moderation, algorithm changes, and “cancel culture.”

Their 2025 episode on shadowbanning, where BoomerJustin shared data on engagement drops after posting political takes, hit conservative TikTok like a bomb.

Whether people agreed or not, the episode sparked massive discussion, especially with creators sharing their own experiences.

Highly polarizing, but also very engaging.

13. TwitchTok | Grow Using TikTok

This one hit because Twitch streamers and YouTubers finally started realizing the power of short-form.

Skylerguns brought on streamers who candidly shared what worked and what flopped.

A clip from his chat with a horror game streamer who teased cliffhangers on TikTok (then got 10k new viewers on Twitch) went viral.

It’s all actionable advice, and when streamers see a method work, they try it, which creates a snowball effect on social.

14. TikTok Talks

Hosted by ZM’s Cam Mansel, this podcast works because it feels like a radio interview without the corporate filter.

When a creator spills personal drama, Cam doesn’t cut it out. One clip in 2025 where a beauty influencer casually revealed that a brand ghosted her after a viral video turned into a trending hashtag.

Cam lets guests be messy, but in a safe-feeling way — and that balance helped the show go viral again and again.

15. BusinessTok

Austin Armstrong’s edge? He doesn’t bother with hypotheticals. He’s in the trenches, running campaigns and building businesses through TikTok as he podcasts.

One viral clip showed him explaining how he generated 1,000 leads in a week with a 3-part video funnel on TikTok, no paid ads.

He screenshared his funnel and broke it down step-by-step. It hit hard with solopreneurs and bootstrapped startups who want real tactics, not fluff.

Unlike most podcasts that struggle with marketing, his approach is grounded in actual results and actionable strategies.
