Of the 13 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 69% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 32K interactions, about 72x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Steven Bartlett's engagement rate beats 69% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,810 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 50% 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.

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

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?

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"

Are we confusing how important AI is with how safe it is to invest in? Today I’m sitting down with Jeremy Grantham - a man whose firm managed up to $165 billion and helped create one of the world's first index funds. He has spent more than 60 years studying markets, money, and human behaviour. Along the way, he’s built a legendary reputation for spotting financial ‘bubbles’ long before most people admit they exist - those rare, dangerous moments when pure excitement and FOMO push asset prices completely out of reality, far beyond what they are actually worth. And Jeremy believes that exact pattern is happening with AI right now... We broke this down some more: - Could AI be revolutionary and still become a dangerous bubble? - Why do the most exciting stocks often fall the hardest? - What would happen if AI stocks dropped by 70%? - How did Amazon fall 92% and still become one of the biggest companies on earth? - Are markets driven more by psychology than numbers? - Why is Jeremy moving his own money out of US stocks? - Could house prices still have further to fall? And this conversation didn’t stop at markets… Jeremy also opened up about what’s happening to human fertility… He broke down why sperm counts have dropped so dramatically since 1970 and the hidden role that pesticides, plastics, and PFAS are playing that most people completely fail to realise. What became clear to me during our chat is that Jeremy isn't just warning us about AI. He's warning us about our behaviour around risk - the assumption that because something will matter in the future, any price we pay for it today must be justified. He wants us to know that something can be revolutionary and STILL be overpriced… For anyone trying to understand what we might be missing in this AI moment and beyond, this is an essential conversation.

I was shocked to learn that in some studies, up to 27% of people on birth control report a decrease in their libido or sex drive. And yet, how many people are ACTUALLY talking about this? That’s why today I’m sitting down with Dr Rachel Rubin. Rachel is a board-certified urologist and sexual medicine specialist and one of ONLY 80 doctors in the US trained to treat both male and female sexual health. Before we started recording, Rachel said “I’m filled with rage”… She explained that people are being denied basic information about their bodies, hormones, sexual health and the treatments that could improve their quality of life… I said to Rachel in this conversation that it’s staggering that so many women are still being let down by the medical system. It makes you think - if men were in this exact situation, would this be the case? We discussed things like: - Why so many women are told their symptoms are normal when they are actually treatable. - Why Testosterone is not just a male hormone. - How hormones can affect UTIs, libido, pain during sex and overall quality of life. - If doctors are properly trained in women’s sexual health. - Why men need to understand the main topic of this episode too. What became clear to me is that this isn’t just a conversation about sex. It’s about health, relationships, confidence, ageing, pain, shame and the way people feel in their own bodies. At the end of the conversation I told Rachel that there are very few people who have her credibility and experience, with her ability to explain these subjects in a way people can actually understand. For anyone who wants to better understand their own body, or better understand someone they love - I really recommend watching this conversation.

I've been waiting 10 years to ask someone these questions, and today I finally get to do that. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been fascinated by American politics. Back then, I used to watch the elections, every interview and all the debates from my bedroom, trying to figure out why a system thousands of miles away felt so consequential to my life. So when I was given the chance to have a sit-down conversation with Vice President Of The United States JD Vance, I knew I didn’t just want to ask him about headlines. I wanted to understand the person behind the headlines. At the start of the conversation, I said to him: “To understand the people that are sitting in front of me, you have to get a picture of their early context.” And the reality is, I didn't truly know his context… What I really wanted to find out by speaking with VP is: How much of what people think they know about VP Vance is ACTUALLY true? Long before he entered the White House, VP grew up in a home shaped by addiction, poverty, instability, and a revolving door of father figures. I went into this conversation wanting to understand how a kid raised in addiction and instability became the Vice President of the United States. And then get to the bottom of what he really thinks about everything happening in the world right now with no questions left unsaid. We spoke about: - The childhood instability that shaped the way he sees people. - The conversation that changed his view of Donald Trump. - His return to Christianity after years as an atheist. - Whether he wants to be President one day. - The immigration debate that is dividing America. - Why doesn't he trust the UK Government? - Whether he thinks aliens exist… - When will a proposed ceasefire deal with Iran happen? - Navigating one of the most demanding jobs on earth while raising a young family. One of the things that I've come to learn is just try and meet everybody as I experience them. Regardless of where you stand politically, this conversation goes deeper than politics. And as a podcaster, having these conversations is important, as it goes beyond the headlines and shows you how the people in power actually think.

Would you bet EVERYTHING on one idea? Michael Saylor did. Michael is a technology entrepreneur and the founder of the company now called Strategy. Long before Bitcoin, he built businesses in business intelligence, speech recognition and smart-home technology. Today, he is probably best known for turning his company into the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. In 2020, his company was worth around $600 million when he made what I described to him as an “early, very contrarian bet on Bitcoin”. At its peak, the company reached roughly $125 billion. I wanted to understand what Michael saw that almost everyone else didn’t, where that level of conviction comes from, and why his thinking goes far beyond Bitcoin. We discussed things like: - How he says AI helped him create $15 billion last year. - Why he believes buying a house might not be the best way to build wealth. - What he would study if he was 18 today. - Which careers AI could completely transform. - What is happening to the value of the money sitting in your bank. - Why he still has such enormous conviction in Bitcoin. Michael’s whole point is that technology, money and careers are not separate conversations. He sees them as connected parts of where the world is heading, and believes the decisions we make now could matter far more than most people realise. Even if you see the world differently to Michael, there is a lot to take from the way he thinks. His experience building technology companies, making enormous financial bets and thinking deeply about AI gives him a perspective on money, work and the future that is worth listening to. Out now on all platforms. Let me know what you think of this one in the comments ❤️👊🏾

- What is Steven Bartlett's engagement rate on X?
- Steven Bartlett (@StevenBartlett) has an engagement rate of 0.107%, based on the median interactions across 13 original posts from the last 30 days against 420,653 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.107%, Steven Bartlett sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,960 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @StevenBartlett have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 69% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,810 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @StevenBartlett post?
- Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.8 posts per day across the measured window.
