LiSTNR is Australia's no.1 sales network for 22nd time

LiSTNR is Australia’s no. 1 sales representation podcast network nationally for the 22nd time, reaching more monthly listeners than its competitors in June as per the Australian Podcast Ranker, with Hamish & Andy remaining in first place as Australia’s favourite podcast.

One of Australia’s most prominent podcasters, Abbie Chatfield celebrated the largest monthly audience since launching It’s A Lot with Abbie Chatfield in 2019, with 315,587 monthly listeners.

Alongside Abbie Chatfield, LiSTNR’s sport focused podcasts led the charge with strong audience growth, including Triple M Footy AFL (up three places to 169,861 monthly listeners), The Rush Hour with JB & Billy (up six places to 129,970 monthly listeners) and Triple M Rocks Footy NRL, which was up seven places with 75,762 monthly listeners, with Ben and Harry making their debut on the All Australian Podcast Ranker.

For the money-minded audience, Motley Fool Money jumped eight places to 54,166 monthly listeners in June.

Popular podcasts in the top 20 included Hamish & Andy, which again claimed the number one comedy podcast, It’s A Lot with Abbie Chatfield, Crime Junkie, 7am with Schwartz Media and Happy Hour with Lucy & Nikki.

Overall, LiSTNR’s sales representation network had 63 podcasts in the Top 200 Australian Podcast Ranker in June, and 38 titles in the All Australian Top 200.

LiSTNR’s owned and operated titles that grew their monthly listeners year-on-year included Darling, Shine!, KICPOD, and CommSec Market Update.

“As LiSTNR continues to be the leading sales representation network, it’s great to see the LiSTNR sales team increasing its podcast revenue across June to finish +25% year-on-year,” Executive Head of LiSTNR Podcasts, Grant Tothill, said.

“For Hamish & Andy to continue as Australia’s favourite podcast, and for Abbie to achieve her best monthly audience, is a real credit not only to Hamish and Andy and Abbie, but also their respective teams.

“Podcasting continues to be a dynamic industry and it’s important to develop new podcast talent. So, to see Ben and Harry McKay making it into the Top 200 All Australian Ranker is just reward for the team and for them,” concluded Tothill.
