Podtrac Releases February Ranker Of Top 10 Podcast Publishers

February

PODTRAC has released its FEBRUARY 2018 ranking of the Top 10 podcast publishers.

The publisher list based on U.S. unique monthly audience again includes the same ten players as in recent months, with one swap, PRX moving up to 4th and the NEW YORK TIMES dropping one spot to 5th. The biggest monthly increases were for THE DAILY WIRE and WONDERY, both up 17%, while iHEARTMEDIA had the largest year-to-year increase, 311%, attributed to the addition of the HOWSTUFFWORKS roster; WONDERY saw a 155% yearly increase.
