Hamish & Andy on SCA’s LiSTNR top the podcast chart with 855,315 monthly listeners.
Commercial Radio & Audio (CRA), in partnership with Triton Digital, has released the August results for the Australian Podcast Ranker.
Second is the ABC News' Top Stories, followed by Mamamia Out Loud.
Grant Tothill, executive head LiSTNR Operations and Audience, said Hamish & Andy's win is testament to their consistency and connection with audiences.
"We’re also proud to have five of our locally created and represented titles in the Top 20 podcasts of the All Australian Triton Top 300, more than any other publisher, including The Imperfects, Dan Does Footy, Happy Hour with Lucy & Nikki, and It’s A Lot with Abbie Chatfield," he said.
Corey Layton, ARN’s head of digital audio, said the results highlight the depth, diversity and strength of iHeart’s slate.
"From market-leading homegrown voices like Life Uncut and The Kyle & Jackie O Show to global favourites like Stuff You Should Know, we’re connecting millions of Australians to the content they love," said Layton.
"With our Upfronts just around the corner, we’re looking forward to sharing the next evolution of our slate.”
The latest data form Australian Podcast Ranker reveals of all males aged 25-54, 60% listen to Sports podcasts, 53% Technology podcasts, and 51% Leisure podcasts. While Science (45%) and Music (46%) complete their top five genres.
With 81.4% employed full-time during peak earning years, these consumers combine established purchasing power with active content exploration across five distinct categories.
“The Australian Podcast Ranker doesn’t just measure audiences - it identifies the communities that directly influence consumer decisions, providing advertisers with insights to turn listeners into loyal customers,” said Lizzie Young, CEO of CRA
