Judging Notes
This year the judging panel had to make some difficult decisions. Not all categories were awarded both a Major and an Indie winner and one categoriy there was a tie.
Majors are large podcast publishing companies that publish more than 5 podcast series per year. Indies are small podcast companies, sole traders, individuals, students and not-for-profits that publish less than 5 podcast series per year.
Judges did not mark any entries associated with their own companies and did not see any of the marks given by other judges. Each category was judged by at least three judges. Judges did not know who else was judging their assigned entries.
The People’s Choice Award, won by Unibizity and The Guiding Voice, was a popularly voted award open to podcast listeners and fans. People could only vote for one finalist and could only vote once. Over 5000 votes were recorded this year.
The winners were announced on Tuesday 3 September at RadioDays Asia 2024. RadioDays was not involved in any stage of the judging process.
Over the next few weeks we will feature some of the winners in separate stories here on Radioinfo Asia, based on information from their entry submissions. If you think you have a good story to tell about your podcast, please don’t wait for us to contact you, just email us more details to [email protected].
