Damien St John, Founder and CEO of Podomedy, said: "We’re over the moon to see so many independent creators recognised this year. These nominations show the incredible breadth of talent on the Podomedy network, from horror fiction to comedy sport and everything in between. Podcasting can feel like a lonely pursuit sometimes; being celebrated by the industry really means a lot. I’m especially proud of the community that has grown around Podomedy and the way our shows continue to push boundaries whilst making people laugh.”
The Best Use of Video category has become increasingly important for independent podcasters. Video helps smaller shows stand out in a crowded market, giving creators another way to connect with audiences, build a stronger presence on social platforms and turn casual viewers into loyal listeners. For indie shows competing with bigger productions, it can make the difference between staying niche and breaking through to a much wider audience.
The Independent Podcast Awards take place at King's Place in London on October 15th and will bring together creators from across the UK for an evening of celebration, networking and recognition of the best in podcasting. Book tickets now.
For Podomedy, the nominations mark another step forward in championing independent podcasts and innovative storytelling.
