“Hamish and Andy” has topped the Australian Podcast Ranker.
The ranker, by Triton Digital, ranks the participating podcasts via unique monthly listeners, rather than downloads. “Hamish and Andy” topped this metric, with 971,617 monthly listeners.
It also had 2,134,282 monthly downloads.
By this metric, “Stuff You Should Know” was actually on top, with 2,660,264. Overall, however, the ARN/iHeartMedia podcast places No. 9 due to its 325,451 monthly listeners.

Within the top 100 podcasts, the biggest mover was ARN’s “Will and Woody” – the podcast format of Kiis’ national drive show.
