Podcast Awards

iHEARTRADIO is taking the occasion of INTERNATIONAL PODCAST DAY today to announce that the iHEARTRADIO PODCAST AWARDS will be returning for a second year on JANUARY 17th at 8p (ET). Once again, the event will take place at the iHEARTRADIO THEATER at the former NBC studios in BURBANK, CA and will be streamed and aired on radio. Winners will be decided through online and social media voting, with nominees picked by a panel of industry leaders.

“The podcasting landscape has truly grown and is now reaching a mainstream audience,” said NPR SVP/Programming and Audience Development ANYA GRUNDMANN. “As a ‘Podcast Pioneer’ we are thrilled to see the range of terrific new programs out there and excited that iHEART has created such a powerful platform to showcase standout shows.”

“When we introduced the iHEARTRADIO PODCAST AWARDS last year, we knew we wanted to celebrate the most talented podcast creators out there -- the key reason that podcasting continues to grow exponentially,” said iHEARTPODCAST NETWORK Pres. CONAL BYRNE. “The response to last year’s awards was amazing. This is the one time of the year that all the most popular podcasters come together to celebrate the community of podcasting truly as colleagues, not competitors. The iHEARTRADIO PODCAST AWARDS bring everyone into one room – the biggest hosts, producers and distributors -- all committed to this amazing podcast medium and to seeing its incredible growth continue.”
