Why This Ranking Matters
Public narratives in Canada are shaped by a relatively small number of influential voices. Understanding which podcasts consistently command attention and frame discussion provides insight into how reputational risk forms and escalates across stakeholders.
This ranking offers a data-informed view of where influence concentrates over time, helping organizations identify which narratives are most likely to shape perception during periods of scrutiny or uncertainty.
At 996 Advisors, we monitor these dynamics because reputation risk does not emerge in isolation — it develops within information environments like this one. The same evidence-based approach used here underpins how we assess and manage reputation risk for organizations operating in Canada.
