The Kyle and Jackie O Show jumps back into the Australian Podcast Ranker top five
Australian Radio Network’s (ARN) podcast publisher iHeartPodcast has topped the Australian Podcast Ranker again, delivering 327 active podcasts in June and 8.904m monthly downloads.
ARN also held three of the top four spots, with The Kyle and Jackie O Show pushing back into the top five after dropping into sixth position last month. IHeartPodcast’s Stuff You Should Know again topped the ranker, followed by Casefile, Southern Cross Austereo’s (SCA) Hamish & Andy and News Corp’s From The Newsroom.

I would relish if you could post cable ratings in Aust. Nobody seems interested and Skye shows deserve
publicity for their thin public support but high ego’s
Where’s the ABC? They have more podcasts than any publisher on this list and I’m quite sure some of them would have larger audiences than some of those on this list. Are they not included in these rankings…?
Hi Sammy,
Not all publishers take part in the ranking. The current list includes ARN/iHeartMedia, Southern Cross Austereo, News Corp Australia, Audioboom, Stitcher, Wondery, Nova, Nine Radio, SEN / Crocmedia, Schwartz Media, TOFOP Productions, Kinderling Kids Radio, Australian Radio Network, Wavelength Creative, Wondery, NBC News, and West Australian Newspapers.
I don’t know why the ABC don’t currently take part, but it is possible they are excluded as they aren’t a commercial publisher and the ranking is compiled with Commercial Radio Australia.
Thanks,

One would think that it would benefit all radio players if CRA wasn’t so focussed on the adjective “Commercial”.
Golly gosh, even Think TV includes ABC, SBS and Foxtel now in its broader church.

ABC managing director David Anderson said: “The ABC has confirmed our future involvement in the industry podcast ranker, which we believe will provide clarity to an industry which is in a period of growth and development. The ABC is a major podcast creator and has been for many years. We believe ABC being included in the ranker will contextualise the space overall and provide good insights for our stakeholders into ABC’s work in this area. We are pleased to work once again with CRA on a project to enhance the audio space.”
Thank you very much Mumbrella Archaeologist! I will contact the ABC and see what the hold up is…
Thanks,
