2025 ESSENTIAL LISTENING POLL
Left of Dial’s Essential Listening Poll will gather hundreds of audio creators, writers, and scholars for the first time to create the definitive list of the most groundbreaking, influential, and beloved podcasts.
Voters will share the five shows that are most important and meaningful to them. Votes will be counted and a final list, along with participant lists, will be published and revealed in August at Podcast Movement in Dallas.
