Official “Top Podcast” Show Badges Of Honor

Edison Research has introduced a new official “Top Podcast” badge that honors shows earning a spot within its top podcast rankings, as determined by weekly podcast listener reach through Edison Podcast Metrics. The badge will be awarded to podcasts that place in the Top 10, Top 25, or Top 50 in either the U.S. or the U.K., with each badge displaying the year the ranking was achieved.

Edison Research began measuring individual podcasts and publishing rankings in 2019 and has tracked podcast listening for more than 15 years. The firm stands apart from other measurement services by focusing on podcast listening — not downloads — across all shows, platforms, and networks. It is also the only service that does not require opt-in participation from podcast creators.

Eligible podcasts and networks will be contacted directly by Edison Research. Verification of rankings and additional information is available at EdisonResearch.com, and inquiries may be directed to info@edisonresearch.com.
