The Kicker

Columbia Journalism ReviewNews306 episodes · latest Oct 23, 2025

The Kicker’s biggest search strength is its consistent top visibility for “deep investigative stories” and “early career journalism” across Apple and Spotify, signaling strong alignment with listeners seeking accountability-focused reporting. Its clearest missed opportunity is expanding into broader discovery terms—especially “news podcast hosts” and “weekly podcast news”—which are not yet ranking despite the show’s investigative credibility.
