Fiction Podcasts With the Most Fanworks on AO3 (As of December 26, 2025)
[DECEMBER 2025] TOP 25 FICTION PODCASTS ON AO3 FOUND IN FANDOMS > OTHER MEDIA
The inspiration and legwork for this was heavily drawn from @bakanokiwami 's Top 20 Podcasts.
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. I followed @toastystats 's guide, which you can find here.
The numbers in the second column indicate how much they rose/fell in the rankings since my July 24, 2025 rankings. "new" means it's their first time appearing in a ranking.
The numbers in the ^# light grey column represent how many fanworks it gained since my July count. (I don't really know how to do retrospective counts, so I left the ranks I added blank.)
The data for this was taken while logged in, so locked fanworks are included in the count.
In bakanokiwami's yearly analysis, they exclude web series like Critical Role and Dimension 20 which release audio-only versions, but are primarily known as web-series. Out of curiosity, I've constructed a version that includes web series/other media that release podcast versions that you can find here.
All nonfiction podcasts and larger franchises where audio is not the main medium have been excluded (ex. Dr. Who audio-dramas).
Bards of New York is a new addition to the rankings!
Our runner up, in rank 26 is Unprepared Casters with 303 fanworks.
All mistakes are mine and mine alone, please let me know if you catch any.
Once again, seriously go check out @bakanokiwami's analyses! They're way prettier than mine, and they get all the credit for doing the groundwork!
