Edison Research has revealed the Top 25 Podcasts in the UK for Q3 2023. This list ranks the 25 biggest podcasts based on total weekly audience reach as measured by Edison Podcast Metrics UK. "The Joe Rogan Experience," "The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett" and "That Peter Crouch Podcast" are the top three podcasts in the UK based on total weekly audience reach among weekly podcast listeners age 15+ for Q3 2023.

Notable movers within the Top 10 include "That Peter Crouch Podcast," up to #3 from #5, "The Rest is Politics," up to #5 from #6, and "Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster," down to #6 from #3 in Q2 2023.

Three shows made their Top 10 debut: "The News Agents" at #7, "Saving Grace" at #8, and "Parenting Hell" at #10. Three shows dropped out of the Top 10 from Q2 2023: "No Such Thing as a Fish," "Newscast" and "The Daily."

Scandals and spicy content buoyed "Help I Sexted My Boss" and "The Girls Bathroom," as both shows had episodes that went viral. Newcomers to the podcast genre include "The Louis Theroux Podcast" which launched in May exclusively on Spotify, and "Growing Paynes," which launched in July.
