Podtrac Releases August Ranker Of Top 20 Podcasts

Ranker

"THIS AMERICAN LIFE" remained once again in the number one position in PODTRAC's ranking of the Top 20 podcasts for AUGUST 2017, ranked by unique U.S. monthly audience. One entrant was listed as "name withheld at publisher request," while HOWSTUFFWORKS' "STUFF YOU MISSED IN HISTORY CLASS" and BARSTOOL SPORTS' "PARDON MY TAKE" joined the top 20 and "MALCOLM GLADWELL'S REVISIONIST HISTORY," "INVISIBILIA," and "THE WAY I HEARD IT WITH MIKE ROWE" dropped out this month.
