In a joint effort with the team at ARN (Australian Radio Network), we have released the Q2 2026 edition of our Australian Quarterly Benchmark Report. To prepare the report, we analyzed 10,439 episodes of popular Australian podcasts to uncover the behaviors, trends, and insights from Q2.

A few key findings from this recent quarter:

• Australian podcast ad spending in Q2 increased 9% from Q1
• Ad load increased, from 5.44% in Q1, to 5.71% in Q2
• Alcohol was amongst the fastest growing industries in Q1, with spend increasing 58% over Q1
