Written by Christine L. Avery | Mar 10, 2026 2:05:12 PM

PayrollOrg’s “PayTalk” Podcast®, now in its sixth year, earned three Spotify distinctions in 2025, which are the following:

  1. Marathon Show: Listeners stayed longer than 90% of other podcasts on Spotify
  2. Fan Favorite: We rated higher than 69% of podcasts on Spotify
  3. Most Shared Show: We received more shares than 89% of other podcasts on Spotify

Most podcasts see their biggest gains early on, but “PayTalk” continues to attract new listeners while keeping existing ones engaged. In 2025, the podcast achieved record growth, attracting 886% in new audience. This shows the podcast is reaching people who haven't found it before. The combination of high ratings, long listening sessions, and strong sharing activity indicates PayrollOrg resonates with its audience and spreads organically.

PayrollOrg’s monthly podcast offers payroll professionals a free platform to tune in and take advantage of the strategic payroll information shared through in-depth conversations and interviews.
