The Top 50 US podcasts for Q4 2024 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 Q4 2024 list is derived from data collected continuously during the third quarter of 2024, and interviewing 5,163 weekly podcast consumers ages 13 and older in the US. Interviews were conducted continuously throughout the quarter in English and Spanish. The top three shows in Q4 2024 remain unchanged in rank from Q3 2024: The Joe Rogan Experience, Crime Junkie, and The Daily.

- Call Her Daddy
- This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von (+3 spots)
- Dateline NBC (+1)
- SmartLess (-2)
- Stuff You Should Know (-2)

Pod Save America, hosted by former Obama staffers, makes its debut in the Top 10, no doubt riding the wave of the political news cycle. After a mid-September launch, Talk Tuah with Hailey Welch quickly skyrocketed in popularity, debuting at #11. The last episode dropped in mid-December, one day before Welch’s $HAWK crypto debacle and subsequent lawsuit.
Several new podcasts enter the Top 50 this quarter. The November election in the US likely contributed to several podcasts making their debut in the Top 50 this quarter. Shawn Ryan Show appears for the first time at #37, continuing its rise as an interview podcast featuring military veterans, intelligence operatives, and political figures. The Charlie Kirk Show breaks in at #49, leveraging Kirk’s influence as the founder of Turning Point USA.
Candace, Candace Owens’ independent show, debuts at #45, marking a strong entry following her controversial departure from The Daily Wire in March 2024. Owens launched Candace in June 2024 and its rapid rise makes clear her loyal audience followed her to her new venture.
Continued rise of conservative talk
In addition to the conservative talk podcasts making their Top 50 debuts this quarter, several established conservative voices moved higher in the rankings. The Ben Shapiro Show climbs from #22 to #14 and The Megyn Kelly Show sees a boost from #50 to #27. Meanwhile, The Matt Walsh Show, which was last in the Top 50 in Q3 2023, reentered the Top 50 at #45.
