Nova’s MAFS Funny Podcast has maintained its spot in the top five of the March 2026 Triton Digital Podcast Ranker, demonstrating the hold MAFS had and still has on Aussies.
Hosted by Joshua Fox, creator of the piss-take Instagram page MAFS Funny, the podcast dives into Married At First Sight Australia spoilers, scandals, episode recaps, rants and exclusive interviews, building a loyal audience around its timely, unfiltered take on the show.
“March was a great month for the Nova Podcast Network. MAFS Funny landing in the top five today proves there’s real power in being timely, sharp and unashamedly in on the joke. It’s culture-first podcasting done right and the numbers speak for themselves. We love having AIIMS on the network,” said Adam Johnson, chief growth officer for NOVA Entertainment.
The podcast continued its February craze, maintaining a top five spot, with a steady monthly listeners of 437,681 down from 469,212.
