Steven Bartlett engagement report
@StevenBartlett - 439K followers on X
Measured over 18 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 25, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.3K interactions against 439K followers, an engagement rate of 0.299%. Measured over 18 original posts, its engagement rate beats 87% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 64K times each, and 2.01% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 14.5% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.2 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 18 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 61% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 33K interactions, about 26x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Steven Bartlett's engagement rate beats 87% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 67% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 07:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 0% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 0% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 942 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Druski opens up about how a call from Drake changed his life: “The thing that changed my life was Drake calling for The Laugh Now Cry Later music video. Brands started to take me seriously, it was no more sending free merch. It wasn’t until then that the real money was coming in. I can’t believe he took a chance on me”

My Nigerian mother and my English father modelled hard work in a way that I never understood growing up. My dad worked a full time job late into the evening and when his work was done, he would go and join my mum at her job in a small, hot, fast-paced restaurant kitchen until the early hours of the morning. They came home when I was asleep and went to work when I was asleep. When my mum left the restaurant, she opened a corner shop called KJS and would work all day and all night. She would end up sleeping in the back room of the corner shop on a bag of rice because local kids would break in, steal things and vandalise the shop because she was pretty much the only black women in the area. My dad again, would finish his full time job, and go straight to my mum’s shop and help her until late into the night. The most remarkable part of this, isn’t just the fact that they worked 7-days a week to provide for their family. It was their attitude towards their work. They never ever described or viewed what they did as hard work. I never ever heard them complain even once about "working hard". They seemed to view work as the ultimate privilege, honour and opportunity. The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve realised that they were my biggest professional inspirations and influence - not because they gave me profound advice like some parents do, but because they set a profound example without needing to say a word - one that has enabled me to pursue my own dreams with a level of focused gratitude that I wouldn't have had otherwise. "My parents were tasked with the job of survival and I with self-actualisation. What a luxury it is to search for purpose, meaning, and fulfilment." - Bo Ren

He's never spoken about this side of his life. Most people know @DRUSKI as one of the funniest people on the internet. His videos have been watched over a billion times, and more than 40 million people follow him. But it all started in Georgia, making funny skits on his phone. Those videos eventually went viral and eventually caught Drake’s attention. Since then, Druski has gone from making people laugh online to building his own production company, hosting major awards and working alongside people like Kevin Hart. But we wanted to know where the funny came from. Because when you go back far enough, you find a story I don’t think most people would expect. From a young age, Druski learnt to read the mood of a room incredibly quickly. When things became difficult at home, comedy became a way of changing the energy around him. As we spoke, I realised he was doing the same thing with me. He would notice tiny changes in my expression, stop mid-answer and ask what I was thinking. After nearly 700 conversations on this podcast, very few people have done that. It made me understand his comedy differently. We spoke about: - The message from Drake that transformed his career. - What was really happening inside his childhood home? - Why his brother’s life went in a very different direction. - Having a gun pointed at his head and deciding to change. - Netflix and Amazon rejecting him but then came crawling back. - How comedy saved him from prison. There’s a moment in the conversation where we tell Druski that our dark sides are often connected to our light sides. We think his story is an extraordinary example of that. The awareness that helped him navigate difficult moments as a child became part of the thing that millions of people now find funny. Behind the person you see online is someone far more thoughtful, ambitious and complicated than we expected. This conversation changed the way we see Druski. Out now on all platforms 👊🏾❤️

EXCLUSIVE - US Vice President JD Vance details inside information on the ceasefire deal: "The first is that the Straits of Hormuz opens effectively immediately and the blockade is lifted effectively immediately. The Iranians are going to stop shooting. We're going to lift our naval blockade, and you're going to see, I think, a pretty quick resumption of full flow of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.” “It contemplates the Iranians giving up their highly-enriched stockpile of material, committing to a long-term inspections regime on their nuclear program. If the Iranians take significant steps to behave like a normal country, they're going to get significant reintegration into the world economy.” “And what the United States gets out of that is the long-term guarantee that they never become a nuclear power."

Humans have been on this earth for at least 310,000 years. Yet mainstream history INSISTS our civilisation only started 6,000 years ago? That’s the exact timeline contradiction Graham Hancock has spent more than 30 years trying to unpick. Graham has sold millions of books and has a Netflix series. All built around one idea... That we are missing a huge chapter of our own history. When we sat down, Graham told me that he is about to undergo serious heart surgery. And, there is a 15% chance he may not survive the operation. With his future feeling uncertain, he wanted to come on the show for the opportunity to put his life's work, his philosophy and the biggest unanswered questions of human history on the record. Graham has been very vocal about how he thinks that mainstream science is dismissing and ignoring evidence rather than actively hiding it. We discussed things like: - A 12,800-year-old comet that forced humanity to restart. - Satellite imagery revealing a lost civilisation beneath the Amazon! - Ancient maps of the world that shouldn't exist… - The psychedelics that may have unlocked human consciousness. - Why everything we know about our origins could be wrong…? What was clear from our conversation, was that Graham isn’t afraid to go against the grain and challenge the official narrative. Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, I think there's something valuable about opening your mind in a way that’s just driven curiosity. As he told me, the most important lesson from his life's work is simple: Question everything. So, what if the story of who we are is much older, stranger and more fragile than we think?

Around 20% of the population display antisocial behaviour as a consistent part of their personality That statistic made me think about how good we ACTUALLY are at knowing who we can trust.. Because the people who manipulate us rarely introduce themselves as manipulative. They can be charming, confident, persuasive and for a while, very convincing. So I wanted to understand what we should actually be looking for. Leanne ten Brinke is a psychology professor and the founder of the Truth and Trust Lab. She has spent almost two decades studying psychopaths, narcissists and manipulators across prisons, workplaces and politics. What I found particularly interesting about Leanne’s work is how practical it is. She studies the small patterns in someone’s behaviour that can tell you much more than the confidence or charisma they show you. Leanne explained that what matters far more is consistency and the point is to become better at recognising repeated patterns of behaviour and knowing which ones you shouldn’t ignore. If you’ve ever had that feeling that something about somebody doesn’t quite add up, but you couldn’t explain why, I think you’ll find this conversation fascinating. Out now on all platforms ❤️👊🏾

US Vice President JD Vance: "If you give Donald Trump an IQ test with the other 45, 46 presidents that the United States has had, I guarantee he'd be either near the top or at the top. And the entire American media in 2016 had convinced me at least that he was not a smart person"
