ARN’s head of digital audio, Corey Layton, said kicking off 2025 as Australia’s #1 Podcast Network reflects the strength of iHeart’s offering and the trust listeners and advertisers place in the brand.
"Our partnership with BBC Studios, combined with our diverse podcast slate and innovative approach, ensures we remain the go-to destination for premium audio content," he said.
"With BBC podcasts now included in the Podcast Ranker, it’s fantastic to see their world-class titles formally recognised for their strong connection with Australian audiences. We’re thrilled to continue delivering exceptional results and connecting audiences and advertisers with the podcasts they love.”
