Media Voices are delighted to reveal the shortlist for the fifth year of the Publisher Podcast Awards. From hundreds of entries, this shortlist of 140 represents the very best in publisher podcasts and we are excited to be promoting and celebrating such fantastic shows.
The winning podcasts will be decided by a line-up of nearly 50 judges from around the world, many of whom have been judging the Awards since their inception in 2020. The winners will be revealed in an in-person celebration at Salsa! Temple in London on 12th June 2024.
Following the success of our first Publisher Podcast Summit, we’re delighted to be bringing it back during the day before the Awards, alongside the first ever Publisher Newsletter Summit. The Publisher Podcast Awards will be held in the early evening following the Summits.
The event will be split across two streams, giving participants the opportunity to access sessions across both Summits. The agenda reveal is coming next week, but in the meantime, we have a generous pre-agenda discount on both Summit and Awards tickets.
Come hear from the best and brightest in the industry, share your own expertise – and dip into the newsletter sessions whenever you like.
See the shortlist below or on the Publisher Podcast Awards website, where you can listen to episodes and shortlist playlists.
