Podtrac Releases October Ranking Of Top 20 Podcasts

October Ranker

PODTRAC has released its OCTOBER 2018 ranking of the Top 20 podcasts using PODTRAC's tracking platform.

SERIAL repeats as the top show for the second consecutive month after returning with its new season; THE BEN SHAPIRO SHOW made a big gain from 11th to 6th, and another radio-related podcast, THE DAVE RAMSEY SHOW, returned to the rankings at number 19, with THE MOTH dropping out of the top 20.

The complete OCTOBER list (with the usual caveat that the rankings are determined by a proprietary PODTRAC algorithm that tracks shows using the system and, starting with SEPTEMBER's numbers, does not track podcasts which do not use the PODTRAC system):

1. SERIAL (last month #1)
2. THE DAILY (2)
3. THIS AMERICAN LIFE (3)
4. STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW (4)
