The year 2021 was a huge year for podcasting in Nigeria.
It's the first year that the Nigerian Podcasting Community can boast of at least 4 different live podcast events and also loads of international recognition and more platforms coming to Africa because the industry has grown so much.
138 Nigerian podcasts appeared on the charts this year.

We published 34 charts on our website.
On Feb 6th, 2021, we had the first-ever chart tie.
So Nigerian & Smart money tribe podcast tied at number 3.
The charts are always very unpredictable because it requires a podcast to chart at least 3 to 7 times a week. At the end of the year, we had the number 1 podcast of 2021 charting at number 1 for 24 out of the 34 weeks it charted.
We also asked podcasters to predict the podcasts that would appear in the top 10 and this is what we got.
Without further ado, here are the Top 50 Podcasts of 2021
