Over the last 20 years, there has been an evolution in American's listening habits. People listened to just the live radio for decades, but today on-demand audio distribution is at an all-time high.

In 2024, an average of 135 Million Americans tuned into Podcasts, an increase of 15 million more average listeners compared to 2023. Also, many Americans do not listen to their favorite shows live, but they listen on demand at their convenience.

Today, Podcasting is a 2.2 Billion Dollar Industry and the research team at Casino.org wanted to find out the most popular podcasts in 2024. They surveyed 3,000 Americans to find out how often they listen to Podcasts and what their favorite podcasts are to listen to.

They combined their survey results with Edison Research’s top 50 podcasts in the US Data to rank the most popular podcasts in America and learn what each state's favorite podcasts are.

What is New Jersey's Favorite Podcast?

The number-one Podcast in America is also the most popular listen for New Jersey residents. The Joe Rogan Experience has Millions of Subscribers and Listeners which is impressive for a podcast with politically polarizing content.

New Jersey is one of 23 states where The Joe Rogan Experience is the most listened-to Podcast. The biggest reason this is a surprising result has to do with the fact that New Jersey has been a consistent Democratic state in Presidential Elections since 1992. Joe Rogan's Politics and Social fall in line with Libertarians which has earned him criticism from "Liberals" and "Left-Wing Politicos".

The second reason why this is a surprising result is because of the popularity of Former Eagles All-Pro Center Jason Kelce was not enough to elevate The New Heights Podcast.  Co-hosted by Jason and his brother, Travis Kelce, the podcast is currently the 10th most popular in America.

New Heights Podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce is the number-one podcast in Missouri and Iowa, an area that has many Kansas City Chiefs fans. Even though there are numerous diehard Eagles fans in New Jersey and Jason Kelce's growing charity event in Sea Isle City every summer, that wasn't enough to make New Heights Podcast more listeners than the Joe Rogan Experience.

Here are the Top Ten Most Listened-to Podcasts in America in 2024:
