OUR 2025 NOMINEES

This year's nominee list is an outstanding reflection of everything British Podcasting has to offer! From laugh-out-loud comedy and fictional escapism to impactful news coverage and topic specific content, this year's finalists truly capture the depth and diversity of this ever-growing industry!

Check out the finalists below and book your tickets to join us this Autumn

Award winning Comedian (and current Taskmaster contestant!) Maisie Adam will be taking centre stage this October.

"The British Podcast Awards are like the Oscars – if the Oscars were way funnier, had fewer dress codes, and no one slapped the host (hopefully!).

It’s a brilliant celebration of the creativity, talent behind the storytelling and community that makes British podcasting so addictive. I’m buzzing to be part of it! I hope to see you there.”

ABOUT THE AWARDS CEREMONY

Now in its 9th year, the Awards will bring together the podcast community to celebrate the outstanding work being produced and the teams behind them. 30 awards will be handed out across a range of genres and categories, including the coveted Podcast of the Year and publicly voted Listeners’ Choice.

Rub shoulders with your favourites in British podcasting with last year's guest list including, Olivia Atwood, Rylan, Scott Mills, Gabby Logan, Michael and Hilary Whitehall, Jordan North, William Hanson, Annie Mac and many more!

Stay tuned for our host announcement very soon...🎤
