In this episode, we're shining a well deserved spotlight on an event that's celebrating some of the best voices behind the mic.

And they just so happen to be women.
Speaker A:
Hi, I'm Amelia Knight, associate producer at Podnos Podcasting.
Speaker A:
Yeah, I'm talking about the Women Podcasters Awards.
Speaker A:
And if you've not heard of it, you've clearly been living under a wi fi deprived rock.
Speaker A:
These awards are all about recognizing dating women who are smashing it in podcasting.
Speaker A:
Whether they're telling us compelling stories, dropping industry knowledge, or making us laugh as though we cry.
Speaker A:
Now, why should you care?
Speaker A:
Besides the fact that women make up a massive chunk of podcast audiences, they're also leading the charge when it comes to innovative, relatable content.
Speaker A:
And let's be honest, podcasting's been a bit of a boys club for far too long.
Speaker A:
These awards are flipping the script, to use a pun.
Speaker A:
Categories in the Women's Podcasters Awards cover everything from business and education to comedy and true crime.
Speaker A:
Because let's face it, true crime is basically a national obsession at this point, an international obsession, in fact.
Speaker A:
The judging panel is stacked with industry pros who know their stuff, ensuring that only the best of the best are going to be taking home the trophies.
Speaker A:
And if you're sat there thinking, yeah, but I'm not a woman, so what's this all got to do with me?
Speaker A:
Well, bucko, here it is.
Speaker A:
Celebrating diverse voices makes podcasting better for all of us.
Speaker A:
Different perspectives, fresh ideas.
Speaker A:
And let's be real, sometimes women just tell better stories.
Speaker A:
Now, if you're a female podcaster listening in to this episode, take this as your sign to throw your hat into the ring, imposter syndrome be damned.
Speaker A:
If you're producing great content, you deserve the recognition.
Speaker A:
And if you're not quite there yet, well, you know where to find pop master Neil for a little bit of coaching.
