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!

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
