The top 10 neighbors for Adam Rippon span podcasts, news publishers, comedians, and satire — with no single entity pulling far ahead of the rest. The scores run from 0.957 down to 0.937, a range of just 0.020, which is the defining feature of a flat shape: the audience overlaps broadly and evenly across a diverse mix of kinds.
Tallying the subcategories across the top 10: Podcasts and Radio leads with two entries — Serial (0.957) and Pod Save America (0.937) — followed by two News Publishers — AP Politics (0.955) and AP Stylebook (0.953). Comedians account for two more: John Mulaney (0.954) and Mike Birbiglia (0.949). The remaining four are AP Oddities (Websites, 0.948), The National (News Publishers, 0.945), Merriam-Webster (Websites, 0.942), and ClickHole (Humor Memes and Satire, 0.941). No other athlete appears in the top 10; the lone fellow athlete in the broader neighbor set, Megan Rapinoe, sits at position 28 with a similarity of 0.928.
The mix — public-radio podcasts, AP wire properties, literary-leaning comedians, and satire outlets — points to an audience defined less by sport than by a consistent media diet of news, wit, and long-form audio.
