The Top 25 Podcasts in the UK for Q3 2023 based on total weekly audience reach as measured by Edison Podcast Metrics UK have been released.
The Joe Rogan Experience, The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett, and That Peter Crouch Podcast are the top three podcasts in the UK based on total weekly audience reach among weekly podcast listeners age 15+.
Notable movers within the Top 10 include That Peter Crouch Podcast, up to #3 from #5, The Rest is Politics, up to #5 from #6, and Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster, down to #6 from #3 in Q2 2023.
Three shows made their Top 10 debut: The News Agents at #7, Saving Grace at #8, and Parenting Hell at #10. Three shows dropped out of the Top 10 from Q2 2023: No Such Thing as a Fish, Newscast, and The Daily.
Scandals and spicy content buoyed Help I Sexted My Boss and The Girls Bathroom, as both shows had episodes that went viral. Newcomers to the podcast genre include The Louis Theroux Podcast which launched in May exclusively on Spotify, and Growing Paynes, which launched in July.
Edison Podcast Metrics is the only podcast measurement service that measures the relative audience size and demographics of all podcasts and podcast networks in the UK.
The Q3 2023 ranker is derived from data collected continuously during the third quarter of 2023, interviewing 2,326 weekly podcast consumers ages 15 and older in the U.K.
Participants indicate which podcasts they listened to in the past week along with a variety of demographic, psychographic, and purchase-behaviour information.
