The awards ceremony, which celebrates women and non-binary voices across the industry, is taking place on 6 November at The Conduit in London’s Covent Garden. The event is hosted by female-led media company Everybody Media, co-founded by Naomi Mellor and Rebekah Pennington, and organised by The Skylark Collective.

Judges on this year’s panel include experts from across the industry such as Mags Creative head of marketing Alisha Dandridge, Paramount podcast content and partnership manager Ali Aitken, Realm CEO and co-founder Molly Barton, and more.
Tickets to attend the ceremony cost £61, with drinks and light refreshments included, and livestream tickets cost £10. Bursary tickets, supported by Wondery and Amazon Music, are also available to apply for and are open to anyone worldwide who requires funding support to attend the event. Recordings of the ceremony will be sent out to ticket holders after the event ends.
Categories for this year’s awards recognise brilliance in podcasting, both on and off the mic, with awards like Moment of Behind-the-Scenes Brilliance, Moment of Comedy Gold, and Award For Changing The World One Moment At A Time. The full shortlist will be announced next week.
“The International Women’s Podcast Awards aims to help level the playing field in this exciting and evolving industry by rewarding and elevating the podcast hosts, editors, producers and writers out there whose work deserves recognition,” the organisers stated. “The team have been delighted by the number and variety of countries from which entries have been received in previous years, and we have been similarly blown away by the breadth this year.”
