Science Friday's top 10 neighbors span podcasts and radio, journalists, websites, an activism organization, and a politician — no single subcategory dominates, and the scores compress into a narrow band from 0.96 down to 0.95.
The shape is flat: Wait Wait Don't Tell Me leads at 0.96, followed closely by NPR Science Desk at 0.96 and Morning Edition at 0.95. Four of the top 10 are fellow Podcasts and Radio entries, which makes Science Friday's own subcategory the most represented kind — but only by a slim margin. The remaining six slots go to March For Science (Organizations / Activism, 0.95), Nina Totenberg (Journalists, 0.95), Hidden Brain (Podcasts and Radio, 0.95), The Onion (Websites, 0.95), Steve Inskeep (Journalists, 0.95), and PolitiFact (Websites, 0.95). The two Journalists and two Websites entries each match the radio programs in score, which means the audience shape Science Friday shares with a fact-checking site is essentially indistinguishable from the shape it shares with a sister NPR program. Pete Buttigieg (Politicians, 0.95) rounds out the ten, the only politician in the set.
The flat distribution across podcasts, journalists, websites, activism, and politics points to an audience that is not defined by a single media format or topic lane — it is a cross-kind cluster held together by something other than content type.
