The Top 25 Podcasts in the UK for Q3 2024
This article is at least a year old
Edison Research announces the Top 25 Podcasts in the UK based on reach for Q3 2024 among weekly podcast listeners age 15+.
Breaking into the Top Three for the first time is The Rest Is Politics, perhaps assisted by the presidential election campaign playing out in the United States at the time, and the aftermath of the 2024 UK election.
Top 10 for the first time is The Rest Is History, which gained significant media attention thanks to its live tour launched in September. The tour began in Cambridge and Oxford. The October performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall, featuring the works of Mozart and Beethoven and accompanied by a live orchestra, sold out as early as May.

Data from Edison Podcast Metrics is available in both the UK and the US. For more information on how to become a subscriber to the full datasets, please contact info@edisonresearch.com.
Edison Podcast Metrics is unique in that it is not dependent on podcast download data and does not require podcast networks to opt into its service. At least 2,000 weekly podcast listeners in the UK are surveyed each quarter for the service, and listening behavior is collected regardless of listening platform. The same methodology is being employed in the UK as is used in the US.
Data from Edison Podcast Metrics UK provides show-level information on the top podcasts in the UK. Subscribers can analyze demographics, psychographics and purchase-behavior information of weekly podcast listeners. The first Top Podcast Shows ranker in the U.S. was released by Edison Research in November 2019; the company has been tracking podcast consumption in the aggregate since 2006.
