Edison Research is pleased to reveal this week the Top 50 US podcasts among weekly listeners (13+) for the first quarter of 2024. The only podcast measurement service available in the United States that calculates the relative audience sizes of all podcast networks and podcasts—including those that have chosen not to participate in other industry rankers—is Edison Podcast MetricsTM. From Q4 2023 to Q1 2024, The Joe Rogan Experience, Crime Junkie, and The Daily are still ranked in the top three. However, there have been some intriguing changes further down the list; the Top 50 ranker below has more information.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce made an impressive leap into the Top 10. This quarter the show rises even further, ranking fourth overall. 

 In The Top 50 for the first time: Some exciting newcomers make their debut in the Top 50. Debuting at #11, Club Shay Shay gains traction with a viral episode featuring Monique and Katt Williams, even earning a parody on Saturday Night Live. Nightcap, co-hosted by Club Shay Shay’s Shannon Sharpe, debuts at #46. The Tucker Carlson Podcast, which launched in early December 2023 at the same time as Carlson’s own streaming network, enters the top 50 at #24. 

The Basement Yard, a sensation on TikTok, secured the #40 spot, while Dumb Blonde came in at #45. Additionally, The Broski Report with Brittany Broski, launched in May 2023, has steadily risen to #48 and was featured in Edison’s Top Five Podcasts Launched in the U.S. in 2023. 

Out of The Top 50: The Bill Simmons Podcast, H3 Podcast, Dark History and the WTF with Marc Maron Podcast bid farewell to the Top 50 this quarter. 

The podcast show ranker is derived from data collected continuously during the first quarter of 2024, interviewing 5,300 weekly podcast consumers ages 13 and older in the U.S. Participants indicate which podcasts they listened to in the past week along with a variety of demographic, psychographic, and purchase-behavior information. This ranker measures reach as a percentage of the weekly podcast listening audience.
