Edison Podcast Metrics released the top 50 Podcasts in the US for Q4/25. No change in the top five, but new entries from, among others, The Diary of a CEO, Dumb Blonde, and Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce. Serial, which had been in the chart forever, has finally dropped out of the top 50, more than 11 years since its release.
- The top 5 differs from Podtrac's global multi-channel ranker announced last week; of course, it's US-only rather than Podtrac's global list. Podtrac placed The MeidasTouch podcast at #1; Edison places it at #18. The MeidasTouch's numbers in Podtrac includes video clips.
Kia-ora, podcasters in New Zealand: Aotearoa’s podcasting community will be meeting once more at The NZ Podcasting Summit on Sat May 9 in Auckland, which has announced its first set of speakers. This time round, there's a session about AI, and one about video. Tickets are available now.
Voting is open until Feb 5 for The Ambies, which is available to all TPA members. Cast your vote at The Ambies website.
- Also, watch for another email today - TPA is switching membership platform to a tool called Glue Up, and you'll need to re-register.
