### What Is the Essential Listening Poll?

The Essential Listening Poll was made to honor podcasts that have influenced the industry and made a lasting impact, whether through storytelling, journalism, comedy, culture or innovation.

### Why It Matters

Podcasts are a growing medium, and they are more than people sitting around talking to each other. They shape culture, politics, education and entertainment. This list will likely become a time capsule of podcasting's evolution, creating a guide for new listeners to find creators who pushed boundaries and redefined the medium.
