Stuff You Should Know retains top Podcast Ranker spot, as list splits Australian and international titles
Stuff You Should Know has retained the number one spot in the Australian Podcast Ranker. The iHeartPodcast/ Australian Radio Network title joined the ranking last month when it was opened up to international titles.
At the time, CEO of Commercial Radio Australia (CRA), Joan Warner, said the addition of international titles would provide more valuable information for advertisers and publishers.
This month, however, CRA has announced the ‘All-Australian Top 100’ category, effectively removing the recently-added international titles.
Hi Viv, was Coronacast on the list? Thought it would have been in the top 10 with the international attention it’s received
Hi Marc,
ABC podcasts do not feature on the Australian Podcast Ranker, so, no, it does not appear. I too would love to know where it places compared to the listed titles.
The Australian Podcast Ranker is opt-in, and is very much driven by commercial forces, so it is unlikely the ABC will get involved. Its driven by Commercial Radio Australia (CRA), which obviously doesn’t encompass the ABC, and aims to report podcast consumption to help drive advertiser awareness of the category (again, not an issue/ concern for the ABC).
So it remains a mystery for now, unfortunately.
Thanks,
Viv – Mumbrella
