Forget the Emmys, Tonys, and Oscars. The iHeartRadio Podcast Awards are on their way to being the most prestigious award show on the planet.
OK, maybe not the most prestigious, but there’s no question the popularity of podcasts has skyrocketed. In fact, countless movie stars, A-list comedians, and media personalities have started their own podcast over the past couple of years.
And good news for those folks, a few of them managed to rack up some nominations this year!
From a Ted Lasso actor to late-night talk show host, here are some of the shows that got nominations, as well as details about the awards ceremony:
The 2022 iHeartRadio Podcast Awards will take place on January 13, 2022 at the iHeartRadio Theater Burbank, California.
“We are excited to be back live for year four of the iHeartRadio Podcast Awards to recognize all the amazing content and talent that the podcasting medium has produced this past year,” CEO of iHeartMedia’s digital audio group, Conal Byrne said in a statement.
“Podcast listening has continued to soar across the U.S., … filling this industry with more diversity and innovation than ever before. We look forward to honoring these major advancements in-person during the 2022 iHeartRadio Podcast Awards this January.”
