The top 10 neighbors for NPR Goats & Soda are a mix of journalists, news publishers, and political-media figures — with no single standout pulling away from the pack. Similarity scores run from 0.96 to 0.96 across the set, a narrow band consistent with the flat shape.
Five of the ten neighbors are journalists: Astead Herndon (0.96), Matt Fuller (0.96), Jamelle Bouie (0.96), Matthew Yglesias (0.96), and Adam Serwer (0.96). Two more are news publishers — Vox (0.97) and The Upshot (0.96) — rounding out a core of text-driven, politically engaged media. The remaining three neighbors diversify the picture modestly: Crooked Media (0.96) is a podcast and radio outlet, Tommy Vietor (0.96) is categorized as a politician, and Jon Lovett (0.96) as a comedian — both figures associated with the same political-media ecosystem as the journalists above. No other blog appears in the top 10, meaning the audience shape here is defined almost entirely by news publishers and individual journalists rather than by peer blog properties.
The flat distribution across all ten neighbors suggests this audience is broadly shared with a specific stratum of politically attentive, text-forward media — not concentrated around any single outlet or personality.
