Edison Research is excited to reveal the Top 25 Podcasts in the UK based on reach for Q1 2024 among weekly podcast listeners age 15+. Edison Podcast Metrics™ is the only podcast measurement service that measures the relative audience size of all podcasts.
Remaining in the Top Three from Q4 2023 to Q1 2024 are The Joe Rogan Experience, The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett, and Sh**ged Married Annoyed. See the complete list below.
New to the Top Five is TikToker-turned-podcaster GK Barry’s Saving Grace. With a successful live tour in February, Barry was also featured in January’s Cosmopolitan. ShxtsNGigs, a UK-based show currently in the middle of a U.S. tour, enters the Top Ten for the first time.
Making their debut in the Top 25, The Chunkz & Filly Show has quickly risen to #10 following the launch of their podcast in October 2023. The Fellas secures the #16 spot. Fellas Studios continues to expand their offerings, including a recent launch of a pioneering paid streaming service called Fellas Loaded.
What’s Good with Miniminter and Randolph earns the #23 spot, perhaps propelled by a public feud with host Simon Minter and boxer Tommy Fury when Minter made a comment about Fury’s daughter.
Staying Relevant rounds out the list at #25, continuing its rise in popularity. Hosts Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks grabbed a coveted spot as red-carpet presenters at the National Television Awards, along with a lengthy profile for Sam Thompson in Hello! Magazine. A national tour was also announced.
Edison Podcast Metrics is available in both the UK and the U.S. For more information on how to become a subscriber to the full dataset, please contact info@edisonresearch.com.
