Top Audio Fiction Poll: Results! 2023

Post Body
This list includes all those entries that got at least five votes. Audio dramas that received equal number of votes get the same rank.

You can see the full list on this google sheet.
The original voting thread is here.
Previous results: 2022 2021 2019
Having to up the required number of votes to appear on the table shows slow growth in this. 2019 required a minimum of 2 votes, 2021 a minimum of 3, and 2022 a minimum of 4, so that's sustainable I think. Had very nearly 800 votes this time round - glad I schedule this for when I have a bit of free time!
Probably most impressive showing from Impact Winter, which is relatively new (not having been on the table last year), but getting in to ninth place. Otherwise, a few things we might generally expect, but perhaps a hint to the secret code of podcast popularity - make sure you've got a significant M or W in the name!
Anyway, enough nonsense from me, enjoy the scores, and feel free to chat in the comments about who was robbed!
