The organisers of the Australian Podcast Awards have officially announced the date and venue for the 2024 ceremony. The prestigious event will take place on Thursday, 21 November, at the luxurious Sofitel Darling Harbour in Sydney. This five-star venue, located on the city’s picturesque waterfront, promises a glamorous backdrop for celebrating the best in podcasting.
Podcasters aiming to compete for an award have only a few days left to submit their entries. The submission window closes this Thursday, 1 August, with judging commencing next week.

Last year’s awards saw The Lawyer, the Sniper & the NSW Police win Podcast of the Year and Best Interview Podcast, while Life Uncut secured the Podcast Champion category for its impactful discussions on young women and the LGBTIQ+ community.
The Listeners’ Choice category, the only award determined by public vote, will open for voting on 26 August. Podcasters are encouraged to mobilize their audiences to participate. In 2023, Basically Besties by Kat and Latisha Clark captured the hearts of fans and won this coveted award.
