The Top 25 UK podcasts for Q1 2024 chart according to Edison Podcast Metrics has been published by Edison Research. Edison Podcast Metrics UK, the only podcast measurement service that measures the relative audience size and demographics of all podcasts and podcast networks in the UK.
The Edison Podcast Metrics Top 25 UK Podcasts of Q1 2024 list is derived from data collected continuously during the first quarter of 2024, interviewing podcast consumers ages 15 and older in the UK. Participants indicate which podcasts they listened to in the past week along with a variety of demographic, psychographic, and purchase-behaviour information.
New to the Top Five is TikToker-turned-podcaster GK Barry’s Saving Grace. The show enjoyed success with a sold-out tour in February, withBarry also getting a feature in January’s Cosmopolitan. ShxtsNGigs enters the Top Ten for the first time. The show is currently in the middle of a US tour.
Making their debut in the Top 25, The Chunkz & Filly Show has quickly risen to #10 following the launch of their podcast in October 2023. The Fellas secures the #16 spot. Fellas Studios continues to expand their offerings, including the recent launch of a pioneering paid streaming service called Fellas Loaded.
What’s Good with Miniminter and Randolph earns the #23 spot, perhaps propelled by a public feud with host Simon Minter and boxer Tommy Fury when Minter made a comment about Fury’s daughter.
Staying Relevant rounds out the list at #25, continuing its rise in popularity. Hosts Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks grabbed a coveted spot as red-carpet presenters at the National Television Awards, along with a lengthy profile for Sam Thompson in Hello! Magazine. A national tour was also announced.

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 behaviour is collected regardless of listening platform. The same methodology is being employed in the UK as is used in the US. The first Top Podcast Shows ranker in the US was released by Edison Research in November 2019 and the company has been tracking podcast consumption in the aggregate since 2006.
