PODTRAC has released its DECEMBER 2018 ranking of the Top 20 podcasts using PODTRAC's tracking platform.
With SERIAL another month further past its latest season, the show dropped from second to 14th place; BARSTOOL SPORTS' PARDON MY TAKE jumped from 13th to seventh, while NPR and WBEZ/CHICAGO's WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME rose from 13th to eighth. PRX's 99% INVISIBLE returned to the list as WONDERY's DIRTY JOHN fell out of the top 20.
The complete DECEMBER list (with the usual caveat that the rankings are determined by a proprietary PODTRAC algorithm that tracks shows using the system and no longer tracks podcasts which do not use the PODTRAC system):
- THE DAILY (last month #1)
- THIS AMERICAN LIFE (3)
- STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW (4)
- UP FIRST (5)
