The top podcasts in Italy, ranked
Italy came to podcasts later than most of Western Europe, but listenership has roughly doubled in the last three years. Millions of Italians now listen regularly. This chart ranks the most popular podcasts in Italy using Apple Podcasts Italy, Spotify Italy, and PodcastIndex data.
The Italian podcast charts favor true crime, news analysis, and interview formats. Muschio Selvaggio, hosted by Fedez, was one of the shows that pulled podcasting into the Italian mainstream. Il Post and other news outlets produce several of the best Italian podcasts. Comedy exists but hasn't scaled the way it has in the US or UK. Audio drama and fiction pods are a growing niche that fits well with Italian storytelling culture.
Spotify is the most used podcast app in Italy, which tracks with the rest of Southern Europe. Apple Podcasts has a meaningful but smaller share. For the best podcasts in Italy right now, the latest Italian podcast rankings, or just to browse what's trending in Italy this month, this chart is updated monthly with real chart data.
