About British Podcast Awards
Now in its 9th year, the British Podcast Awards champions the people both in front of and behind the microphone, giving creators the recognition they deserve. They aim to shine a light on the very best the sector has to offer across a wide range of topics and formats. Whether you’re part of a major studio or a solo podcaster going it alone, the British Podcast Awards is your chance to showcase your skills. Our panel of independent expert judges will be looking for the best and brightest the podcast industry has to offer, recognising those standout shows that elevate the medium and help create an industry that we can all be proud of. We’re looking forward to receiving your entries and celebrating the passion and diversity of podcasting with you.
