With 1,025,870 listeners in June The Dan LeBatard Show is the third ranked podcast in the sports category and up +12% over last month as measured by Unique Monthly Audience.
The imminent return of sports following the shutdown in March helped drive the results. Of note, original podcast content enjoyed a 65% increase in downloads year-over-year, with 17.1 million.
