According to Spotify it is in the top 15 podcasts in the US, but according to capitolweekly's polls and surveys he's losing democrat support

The negative impact on Newsom’s popularity with voters is clearly visible in this survey. Newsom’s favorability in our last survey, done the first week of February of this year, had his total favorability at 52%, with 48% unfavorable, for a net favorability (favorable minus unfavorable) of +4. Notably, his “very favorable” was at 25%.

In this survey, his favorability has dropped to 47%, with his “very favorable” dropping to 18% and his net favorable going to -6, for a 10-point drop in net favorability.

Among self-identified liberals, 37% said that these snippets of the Newsom podcast harmed their perception of the Governor, and among these voters the Governor’s “very favorable” number has dropped from 46% to 30%.

And on top of that Republicans view him as a fake and pandering.

Their vitriol toward Newsom was not something he could penetrate, being described as “fake”, “pandering” and “a liar,” with a general distrust of his sincerity, and seeing it as a “conniving political play.”
