The Top 25 UK podcasts for Q4 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 Q4 2024 list is derived from data collected continuously during the fourth 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 25 for the first time is BBC’s Americast which climbs six spots to #24, likely driven by coverage of the US presidential election and the transition to a Trump White House. Stick to Football enters the list, gaining momentum at #25.
Goalhanger dominates and secures three of the Top 5 spots, with The Rest Is Politics (#2), The Rest Is History (#4) and The Rest Is Football (#5). The Rest Is History breaks into the Top 5 for the first time. Making its debut in the Top 10, The Archers secures the #10 spot.

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.
