The Top 25 UK podcasts for Q2 2025 chart according to Edison Podcast Metrics has been published by Edison Research. Edison Podcast Metrics UK, the only podcast measurement service that measures the relative audience size and demographics of all podcasts and podcast networks in the UK.
The Edison Podcast Metrics Top 25 UK Podcasts of Q2 2025 list is derived from data collected continuously during the second quarter of 2025, interviewing podcast consumers aged 15 and older in the UK. Participants indicate which podcasts they listened to in the past week along with a variety of demographic, psychographic, and purchase-behaviour information.
Edison Podcast Metrics rankings now incorporate data from individuals whose sole podcast consumption in the past week was through video. In addition to being asked if they listened to a podcast in the past week, respondents are also asked if they watched a video podcast. Video-heavy shows, such as Call Her Daddy and The Louis Theroux Podcast, jumped 17 and 30 spots, respectively.
