ABC News Top Stories was the most listened to podcast in Australia in December according to the Triton podcast ranker.
This is the first time an ABC podcast has topped the list since we joined Triton in November 2023.
ABC News Top Stories is a news update created specifically for digital audiences, explaining the key stories of the moment in under two minutes.
ABC Director News Justin Stevens said: “I’m delighted to see ABC News Top Stories resonating so strongly with audiences.
“ABC News Top Stories is designed to give audiences the news they need, whenever they want it, in short and insightful sessions.
“The ongoing engagement across the quiet summer period demonstrates how well we are adapting our news offering to meet the changing needs of our audience.”
Also in December, the ABC maintained the No. 3 podcast publisher and had more titles in the top 200 than any other publisher, with 27 titles making the list.
