The Signal Awards, which is in its fifth year of honoring podcasts, has revealed this year’s recipients, including “Good Hang With Amy Poehler,” “Reclaiming With Monica Lewinsky” and “Khloé in Wonder Land,” which are among the dozens of shows that have received a gold medal this year. Others winning top prizes include “All There Is With Anderson Cooper,” “Served With Andy Roddick,” “Songwriter: Isabella Rossellini + Sharon Van Etten,” “The Mel Robbins Podcast,” “Artist Friendly With Joel Madden” and “Angie Martinez IRL.” Signal Awards chooses gold, silver and bronze prizes for each category, including best host, documentary, video podcast, indie podcast, writing, comedy, true crime, health & wellness, science, sports, music, kids, news & politics and more. Winners are selected by either a panel of judges or by listeners’ choice voting.
This year, more than 94,000 unique voters cast 260,000 votes for the listeners’ choice prizes. Among special recognition, “Criminal” host and co-creator Phoebe Judge will receive the Audio Icon Award, “recognizing an individual whose work has made a lasting contribution to podcasting.” Also, Pablo Torre, host and executive editor of “Pablo Torre Finds Out,” will receive the Special Achievement Award, “recognizing a host or producer whose work has stood out over the past year.” Additionally, iHeartPodcasts has been named company of the year, while iHeartMedia’s Ruby Studios was recognized as the agency of the year. Those honors will be presented at the Signal Awards Winners Party on Nov. 9 in Brooklyn, New York.
