News and Radio 4 productions dominate the Top 10 prodcasts on BBC Sounds this year. Newscast again topped the chart (with the cut featuring all BBC Local Radio interviews with Liz Truss their most listened-to edition). At Number 3 was Ukrainecast; at Number 5, Gabriel Gatehouse's investigation into QAnon in The Coming Storm; and a Number 7, Jonny Dymond's series of discussions about Putin.
Missing from this year's list (lost to commercial predators): "Fortunately..with Fi and Jane"; "That Peter Crouch Podcast", and "Americast", still going, but with Justin Webb and Sarah Smith replacing Jon Sopel and Emily Maitlis.
The archive still performs well for Sounds: Sherlock Holmes, in many variants, is second to The Archers in 'drama'. Currently you can choose from 70 Sherlockian adventures on Sounds, from Cecil Hardwicke in 1945, through many with Carleton Hobbs, and some more recent with Clive Merrison.
