Reporter

Hamish & Andy continues to hold down the No. 1 spot in the latest Triton Digital Australian Podcast Ranker.

LiSTNR had 20 podcasts in the top 50 for September.

Its new Do You F*cking Mind? podcast debuted at No. 49, Over My Dead Body came in at No. 64 and the Australian Electoral Commission’s Your Answer Matters debuted at No. 87.

SCA Executive Head LiSTNR Podcasts Grant Tothill says “It’s good to see that across the year podcast listening continues to grow.”

“While the top five podcasts are consistent, it’s great to see our new podcasts debuting as well as they have, along with the continued strong performance of our titles in our key verticals – Sport, Parenting and Kids Entertainment, News, Entertainment and Culture, Factual & Drama and Radio podcasts.”

Nine Radio says its 9Podcasts’ premium sport content is surging ahead with fanatics listening to the expert analysis and commentary across its slate of programs, including Nothing like the 90s, and Stories of Origin.

Esther Carlsen, Commercial Director of Digital Audio, says “It’s wonderful to see our dominance in live streaming further extending into our digital sports content.”

“This demonstrates that our digital audiences are engaging with us across our key pillars of news, talk and sport throughout the week, as well as at the weekend. This creates a fantastic opportunity for marketers to reach engaged sports enthusiasts across our digital sports programming and podcasting.”

SEN says its digital platforms continued to be a hit with sports fans during September, with interest in the AFL and NRL finals helping the network achieve nine programs within the top 150 most downloaded podcasts.

SEN Digital Director Simon Chapman says “We are thrilled to see the continued growth and success of SEN’s podcast offerings. These rankings are a testament to our team’s hard work and dedication, and we’re committed to delivering high-quality content that keeps our listeners engaged and entertained.”
