The Top 25 UK podcasts for Q4 2023 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 Q4 2023 list is derived from data collected continuously during the third quarter of 2023, interviewing 2,402 weekly podcast consumers ages 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.
The Joe Rogan Experience, The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett, and Sh**ged Married Annoyed are the top three podcasts in the UK based on total weekly audience reach among weekly podcast listeners age 15+ for Q4 2023.
Joe Rogan and Steven Bartlett remain in the top two spots for the third quarter in a row. Sh**ged Married Annoyed takes the #3 spot which was previously held by That Peter Crouch Podcast in Q3 2023, now ranked #6.
The Rest Is Football makes its Top 10 debut at #8. Uncanny, which debuted its third season in late September, makes the Top 25 for the first time at #11.
Desert Island Discs moves to #15 after a change to the BBC’s commercial division last year. With the announcement of a UK tour and drama surrounding a viral episode, The Girls Bathroom makes it into the Top 25 at #24.

Edison Podcast Metrics is unique in that it is not dependent on podcast download data and does not require podcast networks to opt into its service. At least 2,000 weekly podcast listeners in the UK are surveyed each quarter for the service, and listening behaviour is collected regardless of listening platform. The same methodology is being employed in the UK as is used in the US. The first Top Podcast Shows ranker in the US was released by Edison Research in November 2019 and the company has been tracking podcast consumption in the aggregate since 2006.
