ABC Mushroom Case Daily continues to grow in June
Mushroom Case Daily was the third most listened to podcast in June with 670,000 listeners, according to the June Triton Australian Podcast Ranker released today.
ABC Head of Audio on Demand Jessica Radburn said: “It demonstrates again that when there are high public interest stories, Australian audiences turn to the ABC to understand them.
“Sensing the strong audience interest, months before the trial started the team developed a clear strategy for how the show could produce daily episodes during the court proceedings.
“It was important to cover this story in a way that balanced the undeniable public interest with respect to the tragic human impacts at the centre of the trial.”
The ABC had four out of the top 10 podcasts in the June Triton Australian Podcast Ranker with ABC News Top Stories taking No 1 spot, up two places from the May list. Mushroom Case Daily was No 3 with an additional 46,000 listeners from last month, ABC News Daily No 6 and Conversations No 9.
The ABC had 3.1 million listeners across its podcast slate in June and had 44 titles in the expanded top 300 podcast ranker.
Mushroom Case Daily follows the case of Erin Patterson, who this month was found guilty of three counts of murder and one of attempted murder for deliberately poisoning her lunch guests’ food with death cap mushrooms.
Throughout the trial court reporter Kristian Silva, producer Stephen Stockwell and journalist Rachael Brown kept audiences up to date with highlights from court, breaking down the legal process along the way.
“The biggest surprise for the team was how engaged the audience was in learning more about the minutiae of daily court processes and jury logistics, as well as following Stocky, Kristian and Rachael’s daily lives as they were reporting on the case,” Radburn said.
“We’ve had more than 8000 emails to the Mushroom Case Daily inbox from engaged audience members in Australia and around the world, which the team incorporated into the show to ensure the audience’s questions were responded to daily.
“There’s still more to come for the program, with the team continuing to dissect the verdict and respond to audience questions. They will also cover the sentencing.”
Since it began producing daily episodes, Mushroom Case Daily has become the ABC’s most successful podcast in a decade. It is the No 1 podcast on Apple Australia’s podcast chart, No 2 on Spotify’s Trending chart and has broken into the Spotify Top 20 –a first for an ABC podcast.
Mushroom Case Daily has also been featured on The Washington Post, The Project and Mamamia. Audiences can enjoy every episode of Mushroom Case Daily for free and ad free on ABC listen.

MAJORITY RULES: MORE THAN HALF OF AUSTRALIANS CONSUME PODCASTS EACH MONTH
52% of people report listening to or watching podcasts each month; Audio industry unifies around a single source of truth for podcasting
Podcasting has reached a significant step-change. New research reveals 52% of Australians are now reporting they are listening to or watching one or more podcasts every month. The sustained and consistent growth in podcasting has been exceptional with reported listening more than doubling in the past five years from 25% of Australians back in 2020.[i]
This milestone demonstrates that the medium has crossed from emerging to essential, firmly embedding itself in audience routines and reflects an evolving industry defined by unified measurement, consistent data standards, and unprecedented collaboration across publishers of all sizes.
“Podcasting has reached scale, and that requires measurement that’s fit for purpose. The industry has united behind a single source of truth because advertisers need consistency and clarity to invest with confidence,” said Lizzie Young, CEO, Commercial Radio & Audio (CRA).
A Unified Industry, A Verified System
That source of truth is the Australian Podcast Ranker, the country’s only official, third-party verified podcast measurement system. Governed by a cross-industry Steering Committee and supported by deep collaboration across commercial, independent, and non-commercial publishers, it sets the benchmark for podcast data in Australia.
Today, CRA confirmed the extension of its partnership with Triton Digital to continue delivering the Ranker, reinforcing the sector’s commitment to robust, transparent reporting.
“Australian podcasting now delivers the scale and depth of audience intelligence that advertisers require to make informed investment decisions,” added Young.
“The Ranker’s strength lies in the collective intent behind it, every participating publisher has chosen to collaborate, establishing a consistent, transparent standard that gives agencies the confidence to invest at scale.”

- Granular title-level and publisher-level metrics
- Demographic and behavioural insights via Triton’s Demos+
- Standardised, transparent methodology trusted across the industry

NOVA Entertainment Announced as the New Australian Home of The Diary of a CEO
NOVA Secures Exclusive Content and Creator Partnership with Steven Barlett’s FlightStory
NOVA Entertainment announced today an exclusive Australian partnership with FlightStory, home to the fastest growing podcast brand in the world, The Diary of a CEO.
Founded by one of the world’s most influential voices, Steven Bartlett, FlightStory has selected NOVA Entertainment as its exclusive Australian brand partner, with all podcasts and presenters within the FlightStory portfolio now accessible to Australian advertisers through NOVA.
The Diary of a CEO is the world’s second-biggest interview podcast, with 25 million followers, over 11 million YouTube subscribers, and achieving over one billion streams and 60 million monthly listens globally. It is the flagship podcast of FlightStory, the media and investment company dedicated to elevating stories, building communities, and supporting creators that inspire a happier, healthier humanity.
Hosted by Bartlett, an entrepreneur, speaker, investor and best-selling author whose influence transcends genres, The Diary of a CEO features groundbreaking, unfiltered conversations with some of the world’s most influential people including Michelle Obama, Simon Cowell, Trevor Noah, and Jimmy Fallon. The podcast’s raw, long-form format meets the growing demand for meaningful content and has resonated with millions seeking depth.
In addition to The Diary of a CEO, FlightStory brings together a selection of podcast titles and creators identified via their proprietary data science platform, FlightRadar, including broadcaster Davina McCall, relationship expert Paul C. Brunson and human performance scientist Dr. Kristen Holmes, all of whom are now available to Australian advertisers exclusively through NOVA.
This strategic partnership is the first of its kind for Bartlett, following a rigorous Australian pitch process in the search for a regional partner as FlightStory independently scales in remaining global advertising operations.
Said Bartlett, “We’ve chosen NOVA Entertainment as our exclusive representation in the Australian market because we feel deeply aligned. And I say that in many respects. We share a commitment to independent ownership, creative innovation, a collaborative mindset, and the belief that this partnership will make one plus one equal three.
“Over the next few decades, we’re building one of the most important media companies in the world. And to go far, we know we must go together with strategic partners like NOVA, who share our belief in the power of podcasting.
“We’re incredibly excited to work with Australia’s most impactful brands. At FlightStory, brand partnerships aren’t transactional, they’re about shared growth. NOVA uniquely shares that philosophy. This partnership creates an unparalleled opportunity for brands to deliver positive influence at scale – unlike anything that currently exists in the Australian market. So, let’s open the conversation.”
NOVA Entertainment’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Charlton said, “This is a huge win for NOVA. Steven and the entire FlightStory team are truly world class, as is the content they create. I’m incredibly proud they’ve chosen us to help grow their presence in Australia and firmly believe they’re in the right hands.
“Our partnership reflects how we see podcasting evolving in this country across content, distribution, and how brands can meaningfully work with creators. The team is eager to get started, and as a long-time The Diary of a CEO listener myself, I’m excited for more Australians to be a part of these groundbreaking conversations that stay with you long after you listen.”
Christiana Brenton, Chief Revenue Officer at FlightStory said, “NOVA’s pitch stood out in every way, anchored in creative bravery, a commitment to innovation, and a deep empathy for the advertiser experience. This was particularly evident in their world class branded content division, CREATE. Their shared values of independence, 1% mindset and pursuit of excellence align seamlessly with our values at FlightStory. We’re especially excited to test a new model of strategic distribution, with our titles promoted across NOVA’s owned, earned, and paid ecosystem, maximising impact for both our audiences and Australian advertising partners.”
Kate Murphy, NOVA Entertainment’s National Commercial Strategy Director, CREATE said, “Our partnership with FlightStory exemplifies the very best of what NOVA are capable of unlocking for advertisers. Steven is undoubtedly one of the most discerning brand builders in the world. For that to be the calibre of partner we can attract is testament to the level of talent, creativity and ambition in our business. I’m very proud that we will be the ones to bring this incredible commercial opportunity to the Australian marketplace.”
FlightStory is led by Bartlett, alongside co-founders Georgie Holt as CEO and CRO Christiana Brenton, with a mission to inspire everyone, everywhere, to lead more fulfilling lives, one conversation at a time. Four original podcasts have so far been launched by FlightStory, with more signing in development, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to purposeful storytelling.

ARN and Mi3 Join Forces In All New Audio Partnership
ARN announced today it has teamed up with Mi3 as its official audio partner. Under the agreement, ARN’s iHeart will produce, create, and distribute all Mi3’s podcasts, expanding the reach of Mi3’s trusted industry content through Australia’s leading audio platform.
The partnership marks the beginning of a deeper collaboration, bringing together Australia’s #1 podcast publisher and the country’s most influential industry trade media brand to connect with senior marketers, agency leaders and tech decision-makers at scale.
Mi3 is Australia’s go-to destination for in-depth journalism and insight across marketing, media, and technology. The Mi3 Audio Edition podcast – hosted weekly by expert industry journalist and Executive Editor Paul McIntyre – is a trusted source for business leaders, offering sharp analysis on the developments that matter most.
iHeart is Australia’s leading podcast publisher, with over three million registered users, 7.6 million monthly listeners and nearly 24 million downloads every month.
Using iHeart’s state-of-the-art production studios and its global distribution network, Mi3’s content will reach more listeners than ever. As part of the global iHeart global platform, Mi3’s growing international audience will now have greater access to its content – sharing business and marketing insights and advertising innovation from Australia with the world.
Michael Stephenson, ARN Chief Operating Officer, said, “Our partnership with Mi3 brings together two industry leaders with a shared vision: to deliver intelligent, thought provoking and engaging content to audiences at scale. Mi3 will have access to our world class production facilities, distribution through iHeart – our global platform, and the ability to reach audiences at scale in Australia and abroad. This is going to be massive.”
Paul McIntyre, Executive Editor Mi3, added: “This new alliance with ARN and iHeart is bang-on broader media trends – audio consumption and podcasts, particularly, are on the rise. A light mea culpa though is in order: iHeart is a bigger and more prolific digital audio platform in Australia than I had properly clocked and its international reach is perfect for some of the content Mi3 produces. I’m looking forward to shaking our audio editions up a bit with ARN.”
This new commercial relationship also opens the door to greater innovation and collaboration between the two businesses – bringing together content, technology, and commercial opportunities as ARN continues to lead the way in shaping the future of audio.
