Well, the idea behind a pot holder is that it acts to keep your hands or the surface the hot dish is placed on from being burned. If the material were a good conductor of heat, you'd burn yourself. The materials used to make pot holders are expected to be poor heat conductors because they are expected to keep you from burning yourself.

Materials with low thermal conductivity such as rubber, glass, and wood are good insulators. These materials are poor conductors of heat, so they do not easily allow heat to pass through them.
Glass
Potholders are designed to protect hands from heat when handling hot cookware, so they are made from materials that are poor conductors of heat, such as cotton, silicone, or certain synthetic fabrics. These materials reduce the transfer of heat, preventing burns and allowing safe handling of hot items. Additionally, the insulating properties of these materials create a barrier that slows down heat conduction, enhancing their effectiveness in thermal protection.
The opposite of thermal insulators are thermal conductors. Thermal conductors are materials that allow heat to transfer easily through them, while thermal insulators are materials that block the transfer of heat.
Materials known as 'insulators' would be the worst. They include such substances as glass, ceramic, rubber, plastic, wood, and pure water.
