The top 10 neighbors for American Voices with Alicia Menendez compress into a narrow band — scores run from 0.90 down to 0.89 — with no single standout pulling away from the rest. That flat distribution is itself the finding.
The cluster is dominated by journalists and political media. Six of the ten neighbors carry the Journalists subcategory: Alex Wagner (0.90), Joan Walsh (0.90), Sam Stein (0.89), Howard Fineman (0.89), Kristen Welker (0.89), and Andrea Mitchell (0.89). Two neighbors are Politicians — Paul Begala (0.90) and David Axelrod (0.89) — and one is a TV Show: Meet the Press (0.90). The tenth is HuffPost Politics (0.89), a News Publisher. American Voices itself is a TV Show, making Meet the Press the only same-subcategory neighbor in the top 10.
The cross-kind pattern here is clear: the audience for this TV show looks far more like the audiences for individual journalists and political operatives than for other TV programs. The one structural outlier worth noting is Tory Burch (0.88, Fashion brand), which appears just outside the top 10 in the broader neighbor set visible in the graph — a reminder that audience shape can cross category lines in unexpected ways.
Taken together, the top 10 describe an audience organized around political journalism as a practice, not around any single format or platform.
