The British Podcast Awards will take place on Saturday April 29th at the Platform Theatre, King’s Cross. The event is organised by Matt Hill (the independent podcast producer of Spark – True Stories, The Modern Mann and For Formula 1’s Sake) and Matt Deegan (the Creative Director of the radio and new media firm Folder Media). The event has been created to celebrate British podcasters and their content.
The British Podcast Awards are here to promote the great work you’re doing, encourage listeners to try new shows, and provide a space for producers, presenters, sponsors, platforms, writers and performers to have fun.
The final list of the nominees for each category has been announced on 1st April and the winners of the awards will be announced at a ceremony at Central St. Martin’s Platform Theatre on Saturday 29th April. Everyone is welcome to attend the event. Tickets are available for purchase here at £26 each.
