Edison Research has announced the Top 25 Podcasts in the UK based on reach for the fourth quarter of 2024 among weekly podcast listeners age 15+.
The Joe Rogan Experience, The Rest Is Politics, and The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett hold their spots as the Top Three.
Goalhanger dominates and secures three of the Top 5 spots, with The Rest Is Politics (#2), The Rest Is History (#4), and The Rest Is Football (#5). The Rest Is History breaks into the Top 5 for the first time. Making its debut in the Top 10, The Archers secures the #10 spot.
In the Top 25 for the first time, BBC’s Americast climbs six spots to #24, likely driven by coverage of the U.S. presidential election and the transition to a Trump White House. Stick to Football enters the list, gaining momentum at #25.
Edison Podcast Metrics is unique in that it isn’t dependent on podcast download data and doesn’t require podcast networks to opt into its service.
At least 2,000 weekly podcast listeners in the UK are surveyed each quarter, and listening behaviour is collected regardless of listening platform. The same methodology is being employed in the UK as is used in the U.S.
