Spotify Edges Past SXM Media as Top Podcast Network

Edison Research

Edison Research has announced the Top Podcast Networks in the U.S. for Q2 2022, and Spotify, SXM Media and iHeartRadio take the top three spots, respectively. Spotify's weekly reach outstripped the leader from the Q1 estimate, SXM Media, by a tiny margin. The list ranks the most listened-to podcast networks based on total audience reach from Edison Podcast Metrics.

The Top 10 Podcast Networks for Q2 2022:

Spotify
SXM Media
iHeartRadio

The ranker measures reach as a percentage of the weekly podcasting audience. Rankings are compiled by measuring the total unduplicated reach of all the shows represented by a given network. Listening is credited to the producer and/or the network that represents the advertising for the show, not the platform or app that the listener uses to access the podcast.
