SCA executive head LiSTNR podcasts, Grant Tothill, said LiSTNR has again shown audience growth across its owned and operated podcast slate and grown from February to March.
"Hamish & Andy has returned back to the number one position after a full month of publishing and LiSTNR remains the number one sales representation network," he said.
"To see growth of our radio podcasts along with our original crime, popular culture, and sport podcasts, along with the debut of A Life of Greatness and Footy Talk – Rugby League is very encouraging. The results are testament that LiSTNR continues to offer advertisers great opportunity to connect with the growing LiSTNR podcast sales network audience."
