The Top Podcast Critics So Far (Early 2023)

There are a lot of lists of top podcasts out there including us. However, we also have a platform with other information that is fun. So, I dug a little deeper into what we do. Critics. This is the early 2023 Critics list.

In this quick post, I list the top 12 clicked-through critics on Great Pods with the percentage as a whole of all the click-throughs. What does this mean? If you, the reader/listener want to read the full review from a critic, and you click on the button "Read Full Review" that is what is counted here.

Starting off: The average click-throughs total in "Reading Full Reviews" is 19.3% since January 1st. The caveat is that some are behind paywalls so users may have a bad experience.

So pretty

The Top 12: Out of all the reviewers that were clicked these are the top 12 people with their percentage of clicks. Impressive note: 9 out of the 12 are Women.

  1. James Marriot 11.9%
  2. Miranda Sawyer 8.66%
  3. Ximena Smith 7.76%
  4. Hilary Rose 5.53%
