CBC/Radio-Canada dominated the domestic podcast market for the month of June, according to the monthly Canada Podcast Ranker report from Triton Digital‘s Podcast Metrics measurement service.

The ranking provides a snapshot of the most downloaded and listened-to podcasts and sales networks.

CBC/Radio-Canada ranked as the top network with 2.2 million average weekly downloads. Audioboom came in second with 1.1 million average weekly downloads, followed by NPR in the third spot with 758,000 average weekly downloads. Rounding out the top five were BBC and The Podcast Exchange (Canada), and Paramount.

The top three English-language shows – and the top three Canadian podcasts overall – are all from CBC/Radio-Canada: Front Burner, The World This Hour and World Report. BBC’s Global News Podcast came in fourth and NPR News Now ranked fifth.

The top three Canada-originated French-language podcasts were Cogeco Media’s La revue de presse de Paul Arcand in the number one spot, Le Radiojournal from Radio-Canada and Alexandre Dubé from QUB.

Among the top 100 international podcast debuts were This American Life (NPR), Francis Gosselin (QUB) and Small Town Dicks (Audioboom). Additionally, The Outlaw Ocean (CBC/Radio-Canada) touched across both international and Canada-originated English-language podcasts.
