Exclusive: Ahead of today’s UK Podcast Consumer 2025 webinar (at 2pm London time today; 9am Eastern - still time to register), Edison Research have revealed the power of UK podcasting. The biggest ten shows in the UK reach a staggering 2.3mn Americans every week.

Two of those shows are from Goalhanger: founder Jack Davenport is on the keynote stage at Podcast Movement to share his company’s tips for growth.

One show is from Wondery, which announced 110 layoffs earlier this week.

We’ve updated our list of Apple Podcasts “Best Of” shows to include the “best of” lists in Arab nations, which are also listed in the Apple Podcasts app. Sorry to the team from Debt Heads who noticed we’d missed them out. We’ve also corrected the star ratings that appear for some shows.
