Podcast awards: What's their role?

Email This Entry

Posted by Jeff De Cagna

I suppose I'm a little late to the party, but I've only recently noticed that there are at least two different podcast awards sites that are soliciting nominations. The Podcast Awards, operated by Geek News Central podcaster Todd Cochrane, are dubbed as "the people's choice," and will be presented at the Podcast Expo in California this November. Nominations open on June 15th.

The other site I have found is for the Topcast Awards, for which nominations actually close on June 15th and a stand-alone event for presenting the awards is also planned for November.

Are you aware of any other podcast awards that are planned? What is your opinion of these awards programs? Have you submitted anything yet? Will you? What role do you think these awards play in the evolution of podcasting? Just curious what the prevailing view is...

Our goal is to create some exposure for sites in specific categories that are gems out their, that are not getting the exposure the deserve.

We hope the people will award those shows, that are creating creative content in the various categories, and if we acquire more sponsors we should be able to have some great prizes to give out at Podcast Expo.

We are looking for Sponsors, visit the site at podcastawards.com or e-mail podcastawards@gmail.com this is a not for profit event and we expect to see some amazing traffic to the site.
