[2023] TOP 20 PODCASTS ON AO3 FOUND IN FANDOMS > OTHER MEDIA

To make this ranking, all series titles in Other Media were copy-pasted to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then manually filtered since not all podcasts were marked as such.

The numbers under each rank indicate how much they rose/fell in the rankings based on last year's (Oct. 24, 2023) rankings, which can be found here. The gray numbers in parenthesis indicate how much fanworks it gained since last year.

The data for this year and last year's rankings were taken while logged in, so lcoked fanworks are included in the count.

A few web series like Critical Role and Dimensions 20 released audio-only versions of their works too, but I left them out since they were listed was a web series on ao3 and more known as one too.

Cabin Pressure has also been left off the list this time since its podcast format was only released in 2019, years after it aired on the radio.

All nonfiction podcasts have also been excluded (Not that there were many), because with RPFs, it’s hard to tell if the fic in question is just based on the podcast or because of the things the person has done outside of it. Last year, I accidentally included The Misfits in the list since I didn't realize from its description that it was nonfiction.

The Two Princes (Podcast) ranks 21st in the rankings this year, and actually ranked 20th last year when the rankings are adjusted to exclude Cabin Pressure and The Misfits.

The College Tapes is actually a spinoff of The Bright Sessions.

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏

Audiodrama podcast friends... I have a request. I want to listen to a new show, that has a lot of episodes to listen to, that a) is an INDIE show (ie, not produced by big companies like Gimlet or Spotify etc) and b) is NOT an anthology. Also must have good voice acting!!!

I’ve already listened or tried listening to:

2298

Alba Salix

Alice Isn’t Dead

Arden

ars Paradoxica

Badlands Cola

Blackwood

Boom

Borrasca

Brimstone Valley Mall

Desperado

EOS10

Girl In Space

Ghost Radio Project

Gone

Gossip

Greater Boston

Hello from the Hallowoods

King Falls AM (my beloved)

Lake Clarity

Life/After

Limetown

Mable

Moonbase Theta, Out

Midnight Burger

Parkdale Haunt

Penumbra podcast

Red Valley

Oak Podcast

Olive Hill

Terms

Tribulation

The Big Loop

The Black Tapes

The Bright Sessions

The Far Meridian

The Message

The Silt Verses

The Strange Case of Starship Iris

The Two Princes

The White Vault

Victoriocity

Welcome to Night Vale

We’re Alive

Wolf 359

Wooden Overcoats

All suggestions are welcome!!!

Edit: I cannot emphasise enough that I DO NOT want to listen to an anthology. I want a narrative that extends beyond 1 episode. I also don’t want a podcast that is just one person talking to a mic—I’d like to hear shows with multiple casts members .

Also adding a few that I have already listened to to the list, as some of the recs have reminded me about them.

ANYWAY, listening to radio show style podcasts while doing stuff and putting songs into the queue on spotify in between the episodes like you're actually listening to the radio is so fun...

#if no one else got me i know my silly little fiction podcasts got me <3 #this is how i get through my day to day life rn #wtnv #welcome to night vale #spirit box radio #sbr #king falls am #kfam #my post

TOP 10 PODCASTS ON AO3 BASED ON NUMBER OF FANWORKS (2013-2022)

YEAR = November 6 (or closest date to it if unavailable) of that year

To make this bar chart race, all series titles in the Other Media Category on November 6 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and manually filtered since not all podcasts were marked as such. Then I inputted all the top 10 data to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race.

Some web series like Critical Role and Dimensions 20 released audio-only versions of their works too, but I left them out since they were listed was a web series on ao3 and more known as one too. 

Similarly, radio shows which only had podcasts years after they started are not included. That means Cabin Pressure, which I accidentally added in the 2022 Top 20 ranking last week, is not included here because it was only rereleased as a podcast in 2019, and 90% of the fanworks it has now are from before 2019.

All nonfiction podcasts have also been excluded (Not that there were many), because with RPFs, it’s hard to tell if the fic in question is just based on the podcast or because of the things the person has done outside of it. 

The bar race starts on 2013 because there were no podcasts in the Other Media category before that year.

The first podcast fandom to post on Ao3 was We’re Alive on January 1, 2013, followed by The Thrilling Adventure Hour on January 27, 2013, and then Welcome to Night Vale at June 2013.

In 2014-2016, Sparks Nevada Marshal on Mars, a segment from The Thrilling Adventure Hour, was also in the top 10, but I didn’t included it since it’s not its own podcast.

TOTAL = the total fanworks of all the top 10 over the years, not the whole podcast fandom itself

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t miss anything! Apologies for any mistakes, I’m still a podcast noob.🙏

ETA: Locked fanworks aren't included in the count because Wayback Machine can’t view those, only Ao3 users can.

Podcasts are fun because you can tell people about characters like

Arthur Lester and John Doe! A great. . . well written due who tackles what it means to be a human and the morality that comes along with it.

Or! Steve Carlsberg! A heartfelt character where you learn to love him as you get to know him!

Then there's. . . Gwendolyn. . . The Racist Witch. . . the racist witch who. . . is racist.

And Needles. . . the guy who kills people by cuddling them. . . and needles come out of his skin. . .

#LOOK #I love King Falls AM #But they sure did do that! #and LOOK #I love Needles #But the idea is really silly #tmagp #malevolent #john doe #arthur lester #welcome to nightvale #steve carlsberg #king falls am #the magnus protocol

[imawriternotamagican]

Every single podcast got a 🟣/⚫ character, a 🟢/⚫ character, and at least one bottom masc that couldn't find their way out of a paper bag

Got hit with remembering the line “Home is where the heart is, and my heart is in the void with Jack fucking Wright.” And gasped out loud. That was so fucking good and painful

#king falls am #yeah Kfam derogatory but that line did NOT have to go as hard as it did #kfam did so much bad but THIS? some of the lines hit you like a tone of bricks and this one had me upset #hearing it when the ep dropped #I might have misremembered the quote somewhat but this was like. basically it
