The Top 50 US podcasts for Q2 2022 chart according to Edison Podcast Metrics has been published by Edison Research. Edison Podcast Metrics is the only podcast measurement service that measures the relative audience size and demographics of all podcast networks in the US.

The Edison Podcast Metrics Top 50 Podcasts of Q2 2022 list is derived from data collected continuously Q3 2021 – Q2 2022, from surveying weekly podcast consumers aged 18 and older in the US.

The top 10 shows on the list are:

  1. The Joe Rogan Experience
  2. Crime Junkie
  3. The Daily
  4. This American Life
  5. My Favorite Murder
  6. Stuff You Should Know
  7. The Ben Shapiro Show (up from #9 in Q1)
  8. Call Her Daddy (up from #10 in Q1)
  9. Morbid: A True Crime Podcast (enters the top 10)
  10. Office Ladies (down from #7 in Q1)

According to Edison Research’s data, ‘Although the top six podcasts held on to their rankings since last survey, there are several new entrants to the list. The biggest gainers within the top 15 podcasts are “NPR News Now” (gaining 3 positions, up to #13) and “Smartless” (gaining 4 positions, up to #15 ). Two shows make their first appearance in the top 50: “The Glenn Beck Program” and “Ear Biscuits.”  Returning to the top 50 are “Last Podcast On the Left” and “Pardon My Take.” The comedy-horror “Last Podcast on the Left” saw the largest increase among the top 50 shows, going from 60th to 38th.  Ear Biscuits, also a comedy podcast, gained strongly as well, perhaps aided by the springtime debut of their Food Network television show.’
