Ranker

PODTRAC has released its AUGUST 2018 ranking of the Top 20 podcast publishers.

The Top 10 saw continued upward movement, from 8th in JUNE to 4th in JULY and now second to NPR, for iHEARTRADIO; also making a sharp upward move was THE NEW YORK TIMES, now third, with PRX and WNYC STUDIOS (despite increasing its audience) dropping. iHEARTRADIO, the TIMES, WNYC, and BARSTOOL SPORTS showed audience gains month-to-month while the rest were either flat or slightly down. Total global downloads for the top 10 publishers rose 7% from JULY and rose 48% year-to-year.
