SYDNEY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Triton Digital^�, the global technology and services leader to the digital audio and podcast industry, announced today the release of the latest Australian Podcast Ranker. The Ranker provides insight into the Top 100 Podcasts as well as the Top 10 Publishers in Australia from 1 August through 31 August, 2021, as measured by Triton�s Podcast Metrics measurement service.

The Top Podcast Ranker and All-Australian Top 100 Ranker are ranked by monthly listeners, in accordance with the latest IAB Podcast Technical Measurement Guidelines.

For the first time, and for all three rankers, the ranker is based on listeners instead of downloads. In addition, for the first time, both the listener and download metrics are presented to the readers. With these changes having an important effect on the ranking, we are not showing rank changes for this edition only. Rank changes will be available again next month.

As for this month, the top three publishers for the Australian Podcast Ranker are ARN/iHeartMedia, LiSTNR (SCA) and Audioboom.

The top three podcasts in both the Top 100 Ranker and Top 100 All-Australian Ranker are Hamish & Andy (LiSTNR � SCA), Casefile True Crime (Audioboom) and Life Uncut with Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne (ARN/iHeartMedia).

Total downloads of all shows by all participating publishers in the month of August is 49M.

Participating publishers in the Australian Ranker include Audioboom, ARN/iHeartMedia, DM Podcasts, Equity Mates Media, Hidden Brain Media, Kinderling Kids Radio, LiSTNR (SCA), News Corp Australia, Nine, NOVA Entertainment, Podshape, Schwartz Media, Sports Entertainment Network (SEN), Stitcher Media, TOFOP Productions, Wavelength Creative and West Australian Newspapers.
