Lily Allen & Miquita Oliver, Gary Lineker, Rob Burrow CBE, Emily Maitlis, Annie Macmanus and Gabby Logan are amongst the nominees of the British Podcast Awards 2024.
The winners will be revealed at a star-studded awards show on Thursday 26 September at HERE at Outernet London.
This year, over 180 nominees across 25 categories will be vying to win one of the coveted trophies.
Miss Me? with Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver, Springleaf with James Acaster, and Where There’s a Will, There’s a Wake with Kathy Burke are all up for Best Entertainment.
The Spotlight Award, honouring big hitters with over 100,000 downloads per episode, helping to bring the medium into the mainstream, will see Help I Sexted My Boss, The News Agents, and The Traitors: Uncloaked with Ed Gamble go head-to-head.
DJ and Broadcaster Annie Macmanus is nominated for two separate podcasts, BBC Sounds’ Sidetracked with co-host Nick Grimshaw in the Best Arts & Culture category and for Best Interview podcast with her solo venture Changes. Other notable nominations include the late Rob Burrow CBE for the Rising Star award.
The judging panel, co-chaired by Leanne Alie and Hannah Maguire and Suruthi Bala of RedHanded, totalled over 11 days of listening from 1000+ entries.
The Listeners’ Choice category, which represents the only British Podcast Award decided by public voters rather than by judges’ decision, is now open. Voting can be cast on the BPA’s website and closes on 29 August. Tickets can also be purchased from the website.
