How we rank
We write up every episode of the shows we cover. Over the 12 weeks to Oct 4, that came to 298 episodes from 30 shows, and we published 24 newsletters (The Throughline and The Carry). A show ranks higher when more of its episodes had ideas that made one of those newsletters.
The score is the share of a show's episodes that made a newsletter, adjusted so a show with only a few episodes needs a higher share to rank high (3 of 3 counts for less than 10 of 10). A show needs at least two episodes in the window to be ranked. The order updates every time the site rebuilds, and the window moves forward each Sunday. Nobody pays to be on this list, and it only includes shows we cover.
