What a year for Mamamia Out Loud. The podcast was No 1 again on the March Triton Australian Podcast Ranker with a record 1.2 million monthly listeners, nearly half a million more than Hamish and Andy, who returned after their ‘government mandated break’ with 750K at No 2.
ABC News Top Stories rounds out the top 3. ABC’s Conversations had the most monthly downloads, nearly 2.7 million.
The Kyle and Jackie O podcast has vanished from the Ranker. It is, as of today April 22, still available on ARN iHeart. I believe that many will have checked it out throughout the unfolding situation for the former on air duo in March, so the decision not to include the numbers will likely be from the organisation, rather than them dropping off the ranker.
Additionally, this is likely to be the last time Abbie Chatfield’s It’s a Lot features (#7 – 426K monthly listeners) with the switch to Acast at the start of April. The podcast can no longer be found on LiSTNR and the same for Jess Rowe’s Big Talk Show which has switched to DM Podcasts and should reappear on the Ranker under their umbrella next month.
For radio catch up podcasts, No 1 is SEN Breakfast, cracking the top ten too. It is also the highest sports podcast.
SEN Chief Executive, Craig Hutchison, said of the results:
“It is a great reward for our hard-working SEN Melbourne breakfast team to be the number 1 radio podcast in Australia from a total listeners and total download perspective.
“This result is supported by real depth across the network. To have 17 SEN titles in the Australian Top 300, while holding the top position in radio, sport, football and racing podcasts, speaks to the strength and scale of what SEN is producing nationally.
“The results in New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia and beyond are particularly pleasing.
“Our audiences are choosing when and how they listen and we love that they are embracing at such scale our highly connected sports entertainment programs, right across the country.”
SCA and LiSTNR’s was Happy Hour with Lucy and Nikki (#15) with an additional big surge for Triple M‘s AFL podcast now that season 2026 has commenced. ARN was The Smallzy Show at #92, but cracking the top 100. Ben Fordham Live was #19 for Nine Audio.
News was the top genre.
Lizzie Young, CEO of CRA said:
“Podcasting in Australia continues to grow in reach and commercial value, and the Ranker keeps the whole industry in step with that momentum. Verified, independent data – accessible to publishers, agencies and advertisers – means everyone can see where audiences are moving and act with confidence.”
