Top Podcast Badge Released by Edison Research
Edison Research announces the release of an official Top Podcast badge for shows to use that designate them as having achieved a spot within the top rankings of weekly podcast listeners, based on Edison Podcast Metrics.
The Top Podcast badge is available for shows in the Top 10, Top 25, and Top 50 rankings from Edison Podcast Metrics in both the U.S. and the UK. The badge features the year when the show attained the ranking.
Podcast rankings can be confirmed for U.S. shows and UK shows on the Edison Research website. Shows and networks who qualify for the badges will be contacted by Edison Research and may also reach out to Edison Research at info@edisonresearch.com.
Edison Research has been measuring the podcast listening space for over 15 years and began measuring individual shows and releasing rankings in 2019 through Edison Podcast Metrics. Rankings are based on reach among weekly podcast listeners ages 13 and older. Edison Podcast Metrics is the only service that measures podcast listening, not downloads, across all networks, shows, and platforms, and does not require an opt-in from shows or networks.
