Top Canadian News & Politics Podcasts

We rank the most influential podcasts talking about news, current events, politics and society in Canada

Our Methodology

Podcast rankings are derived from daily top lists published by Spotify and Apple Podcasts, focusing exclusively on content produced by Canadian creators.

Podcasts receive points according to their daily position on each platform’s ranking, with higher placements earning more points.

Podcasts that do not appear in the rankings on a given day receive zero points for that day.

Weightings will periodically be adjusted based on changing platform preferences for Canada.

The podcasts that haven't cracked the top 20 but whose influence is emerging. We are keeping our eye on them and so should you.
