Senor M
SFAEW World Heavyweight Champion
Interesting to see that the first-ever podcast rankings were released last week (for the month of September 2019).
A few SEN shows were in the top bracket - Whateley, SEN Breakfast both being in the Top 5. The cynics would say that's because people prefer to listen to the shows without one hour out of three hours being advertisements! But it's still a good effort.
I'm probably two-thirds to one-third split between podcasts and live radio.

Off The Bench and Crunch Time were pretty low - maybe that's a weekend effect.
Not really a good indicator of the size of a podcast audience though has it's only taken reported data from a selected group of publishers-
"The ranker has started with a foundation group of podcast publishers including News Corp Australia, PodcastOne Australia, NOVA Entertainment, Southern Cross Austereo, Australian Radio Network, Macquarie Media and SEN/Crocmedia"
That would only account for a small selection of the podcasts that I listen to-- I think iTunes podcasts ratings or Spotify rankings would be more accurate than that list.
