Edison Research has named its list of the top 10 new podcasts for 2024, and the show from Candace Owens earned the second spot on the list.
Owens launched her new podcast in June after her high-profile exit from The Daily Wire in March. Owens clashed with the outlet’s co-founder — Ben Shapiro — over her stance on the Hamas/Israel conflict, ultimately leading to her departure and subsequent back-and-forth shots between the two conservative media personalities.
The performance of Candace was especially notable since the research firm shared that, naturally, podcasts released earlier in the year perform better than those that begin later in the calendar.
The only podcast launched in 2024 that topped the show debuted by Candace Owens was Talk Tuah with Haliey Welch, the viral star that has yet to release a new episode since early December after being accused of a cryptocurrency scam at the end of the year.
Also joining Talk Tuah and Candace in the top 10 were:
- So True with Caleb Hearon
- Mind the Game with LeBron James and JJ Redick
- Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway
- Basically Unfiltered with Remi, Alisha, Zane, and Heath
- MeSsy with Christina Applegate & Jamie-Lynn Sigler
- The Salty Podcast
- Where Everybody Knows Your Name with Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson (Sometimes)
- Wartime Stories
The selections from Edison Research are “based on the highest average weekly audience throughout their debut year, demonstrating significant listener engagement and impact.”
