SCA executive head of LiSTNR Podcasts, Grant Tothill, said it’s great to see Hamish & Andy continue their run as the most listened to podcast and the early growth of LiSTNR's new podcast titles, which debuted in the ranker, supporting its commitment and investment in commissioning and creating podcasts for Australian audiences.
