James Cridland: The 2026 nominees for the Golden Globe's Best Podcasts were
announced.
It's the first time podcasts have been recognised.
The podcast nomination announcement was made in the portion that
wasn't televised.
The awards show is on January the 11th.
Sirius XM has half the nominations.
We couldn't be prouder, said the company's Scott Greenstein.
Additionally, Dax Shepard and Monica Padman described their
nomination for Armchair Expert
as unfathomable and a true honour.
Dying for Sex also got a nomination as a limited TV show based
on Wondery's original Dying for Sex podcast.
In spite of paying significantly for promotion, including full-page
ads in Variety and Times Square billboards,
The Ben Shapiro Show failed to be nominated.
Indeed, perhaps playing safe, there were no nominations for any
political shows, right or left-leaning, or for sports shows.
Elsewhere, Podtrac released its US ranker for November 2025.
All of the top ten publishers posted significantly lower numbers
month on month.
We can normally blame Thanksgiving for that, but numbers are
also down year on year.
Piers Morgan Uncensored is to launch a spin-off series, History
Uncensored.
The show will be hosted by Bianca Nobilo on YouTube and quotes
as a podcast.
It's the first of a number of shows to use the uncensored brand.
Vulture publishes the ten moments that defined podcasting in
2025.
The end of WTF makes it to number nine.
And Westwood One reminds us about the size of radio in a blog
post.
64% of all ad-supported audio share is to radio.
Podcasts is just 20%.
But the data is also useful to compare podcasting to ad-supported
Spotify, Pandora, or SiriusXM.
Podcasting's around three times larger than those.
And in podcast news with Airwave, the Music Saves Me podcast has
donated selected episodes to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
library and archives.
Episodes include guests from Def Leppard, Run DMC, and singer-songwriter
Lauren Monroe.
Health Podcast Show is a brand new series bringing you insights
from leaders at the intersection of health, science, and media.
It kicks off with Erin E. Carroll's opening keynote from the
2025 Health Podcast Summit.
And Killer Thriller is a new true crime series hosted by actress
and author Elisa Donovan today.
The premiere episode features Donovan alongside Amy Roback and
TJ Holmes as they explore why true crime culture continues to
dominate entertainment.
