Triton Digital released the October edition of its US Podcast Ranker, listing the top 150 shows. The default sorting of this list is by weekly average downloads, and that is the metric we use here. But the release is interactive, and can be sorted by average users, and additionally can be shifted to rank sales networks. It is freely posed HERE for anyone to work with.
Changes Over Time
Below, we illustrate a month-over-month comparison of the top 10 listed shows, and also a 13-month view:
We see above that only two podcasts are unique in the year-over-year view and month over month, shown in the 13-month comparison (green highlight). One podcast does appear from 13 months previous (orange highlight), but did not appear on last month’s chart.
