Audioboom sees record audience reach
In a stock market statement, the company reported that, for January, podcasts on the Audioboom Creator Network were downloaded by more than 38.6 million unique listeners worldwide, a new monthly record and more than 9% up on Q4 2023’s monthly average (34.4 million).
The podcast platform’s audience growth follows the successful launch of new podcasts in the Audioboom Creator Network including Matt & Shane’s Secret Podcast and The Why Files, which debuted in the latest Triton Digital podcast ranker at number 76, along with Audioboom Studios production National Park After Dark which debuted at 92.
The London Stock Exchange-listed company said it will continue to bring new top tier podcasts with strong audiences to the platform in 2024.
In the US, Audioboom remains the fifth largest podcast publisher on the Triton Digital ranker – now just 100k listeners behind American radio giant Audacy.
Audioboom said it continues to grow faster than its competitors – and is now 1.5 million weekly listeners behind third place Wondery. In the January 2023 ranker the gap to third place was 2.5 million.Â

“We are developing true global audience scale – key to providing our brand partners with powerful, targeted advertising options to capture the full value of podcasting for our creators.”
