The Joe Rogan Experience is No 1 podcast in US according to a recent survey by Edison Research. The Podcast Consumer Tracker (PCT) Q2 2020 Top 30 is based on 8,080 online interviews with a nationally representative sample of weekly podcast consumers in the US, aged 18 and older. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish between 24th June and 7th July 2020.
The PCT is a comprehensive study of the reach of podcast networks and shows in America. The Joe Rogan Experience continues to be the number one podcast in America as it has been since the PCT was established in the summer of 2019. The ranker lists the top thirty podcasts in America by reach — not downloads — among weekly podcast consumers. Reach is the percentage of weekly podcast listeners who say they have listened to any one of these shows in the last week.
Edison Research SVP Tom Webster said, “Even with the work and life disruptions caused by COVID-19, people did continue listening to their favourite podcasts, and we ultimately saw little to no reduction in reach among weekly podcast listeners.”
The Podcast Consumer Tracker is the only study that measures the entire podcast space continuously, as compared to other download rankers which only measure participants who opt in to those rankers, or users of a specific platform. Podcasts and podcast networks are ranked according to their weekly reach of podcast listeners.
