Podtrac Releases October Ranker Of Top 20 Podcasts

Ranker

Two daily morning news updates move up and iHEARTMEDIA's "TRENDING SONGS: POP" " makes a top 10 debut in PODTRAC's ranking of the Top 20 podcasts for OCTOBER 2017, ranked by unique U.S. monthly audience. THIS AMERICAN LIFE" is once again atop the list; also new to the top 20 are "RADIOLAB PRESENTS: MORE PERFECT" and the LOS ANGELES TIMES and WONDERY's "DIRTY JOHN." Dropping off the list this week were "TEDTALKS," "99% INVISIBLE," and "THE MOTH PODCAST." And the controversy between BARSTOOL SPORTS and ESPN didn't hurt BARSTOOL's "PARDON MY TAKE," which moved up from 19th to 15th.
