In the just released Edison Research Top 50 Podcasts in the U.S. for Q2, we see long-familiar titles leading this elite pack.
In the list below, the bold titles are identical podcasts as the previous year, in the identical slots. Only #8 and #9 are in slightly different positions. Seven of the 10 podcasts are in both lists.
- The Joe Rogan Experience
- Crime Junkie
- The Daily
- Call Her Daddy
- This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
- SmartLess
- Dateline NBC
- Stuff You Should Know (previously #7)
- This American Life (previously #8)
- New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Success breeds success — the obvious takeaway.
This interesting note from Edison:
“Edison Podcast Metrics rankings now incorporate data from individuals whose sole podcast consumption in the past week was through video. In addition to being asked if they listened to a podcast in the past week, respondents are also asked if they watched a video podcast.”
As always with Edison Research metrics, the results are generated from surveys, not from server-side downloads, assuring that no podcast is systemically excluded.
