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!

Mercedes is a big lady who powers crystals by jerking off near them and having such powerful orgasms it makes that shit magical.
I wish I could be her when I grow up. <- Is in her mid-30s
Mercedes Oak-Garcia better win this whole thing cause omg that woman is fine as fuck!
Look at Mercedes! She was VERY hype to have a 3-way with her husband and a werewolf! Her family is from Ecuador and she taught her sons Spanish! She got into heaven and for her it was a room of hot people of all genders plus buckets of lube!
I love her so much 😍
SHE ALSO IS A RADIO DJ !!! BABE HAS A BROADCASTING DEGREE !!! SHE PAINTED A SENSUAL MURAL ON THE SIDE OF HER HOUSE THAT GOT HER FAMILY TAKEN TO COURT !!
VOTE FOR OUR FAVE GIRL
She found out her husband was trapped in a magic realm and fighting his evil abuse dad that he has no memory of, organised a team together, travelled through dimensions to save him, and rode into battle buck-ass naked on the hood of a 2013 Honda Odyssey whilst covered in JO crystals, and then proceeded to fight a dragon that was actually said asshole father in law
First met her husband when she found him passed out naked in the woods with amnesia, immediately introduced herself by hyphenating their last names
Painted a graphic mural on the side of her house of Mother Nature giving birth to the Earth. Got taken to court by a neighbour and, in addition to actual legal arguments, showed up to testify as Mother Nature herself, in full costume. She was held in contempt of court
She's poly with an open marriage, canonically has fairly regular orgies with her husband and their friends
She's a classical music radio DJ
Im going to be offline for a few weeks for family stuff but here's something I can finally share. Concept and layout by the delightful @lynettebaconnguyenauthor . Thanks for trusting me with the the Planescape's Weirdest Little Dudes. 😻
I love the concept of the Per Aspera crew being Slightly Unnerving to everyone around them
Kyana looks human at first glance, but then you look again, and she’s just not. Her eyes are bright gold, almost luminescent; and when you look into them, you feel for a second like a thousand generations are staring back at you, layer upon layer of something incomprehensibly ancient hidden just beneath the surface.
Dani is unpredictable in everything she does, but especially in the way she moves — like there is fire in her veins where blood should be, smoldering coals instead of organs, and sparks firing where there should be neurons. She is a wildfire barely contained by a mortal body, and if let loose she would incinerate everything around her — no hesitation, no control. You’re not even sure she would notice.
To a causal observer, VR-LA is something akin to emotionless; his monotone voice and blank face eerily indecipherable. When he speaks, there is a sense that he knows too much, that he carries secrets whispered in the deep and mysteries shrouded in darkness — things no mortal mind should know.
Vhas’s grin is just a bit too wide, uncomfortably sharp teeth glinting even in dim lighting. He speaks of death like he is more familiar with it than with life, like decay dances to the beat of his bloodless heart, like he has seen more people die than you have seen people. His body is lacking something vital and still he moves and breathes, and you ask yourself whether that makes him more or less alive.
You look at these four, and you don’t wonder how they managed to save the Multiverse. You wonder if anyone could stop them if they wanted to destroy it.
Unfortunately for me, my specific flavor of neurospicy makes DnD podcasts kinda hard to listen to :[ But I have gained approximate knowledge of many things via both of the most important people in my life listening to the podcast and general tumblr osmosis
So behold! My understanding of whomst the fuck is in this party!
Also the cheese butter oreo recipe for anyone who is horrified yet curious: - 2 small pieces of cheese - 1 pat of butter - sandwich the butter between the cheese - enjoy!
wondering if you’ve ever envisioned dani from rolling with difficulty as entrapta (she-ra), because to me the demeanorial resemblance is uncanny
I think dani would hunt entrapta for sport and entrapta would find it tremendously enriching
Doodle of Vr-la asking my cat Mabel to be their captain
Just started listening to season 2!!
