“We’re incredibly proud to retain our position as Australia’s number one sports podcasting network,” Hutchison said. “These results are a testament to the strength of our content, the talent across our shows, and the deep connection we’ve built with sports fans nationwide. To lead the Podcast Ranker for six consecutive months and represent over a quarter of all Australian-made sports podcasts is a phenomenal achievement. SEN continues to set the benchmark for sports audio in this country.”
