THE PODYSEE AWARDS

The Podysee Awards®: Celebrating the Little Guys

Who needs a big budget and a corporate overlord when you've got passion, a decent mic, and a whole lot of heart? The Podysee Awards is here to shine a spotlight on the indie podcasters who are making waves, one episode at a time.

We're talking about the shows that aren't afraid to get weird, the hosts who aren't afraid to be themselves, and the stories that make you laugh, cry, and think. Because let's face it, sometimes the best podcasts come from the smallest of places.

Join us as we celebrate the unique and personal medium of podcasting, where creators can connect with listeners on a deeper level. It's time to give the little guys the recognition they deserve!

  • Nominating your indie podcast is as easy as pie! Just fill out the form, pay a small $25 submission fee, and pick the category that best fits your show. Every podcast that enters will be showcased in our prestigious nominee directory. And hey, who knows? Your podcast might just snag the coveted "Podcast of the Year" title as all submissions are eligible.

  • Once the nomination period closes, our esteemed panel of judges will dive deep into the pool of incredible podcasts. They'll listen, laugh, cry, and ponder, carefully evaluating each submission based on creativity, originality, production quality, and overall impact. After much deliberation and perhaps a few heated debates, they'll cast their votes, and the finalists will be chosen!

  • After the judges have deliberated and the votes are tallied, the finalists will be unveiled to the world. These lucky few will have the chance to bask in the spotlight and eagerly await the grand finale, where the ultimate winners will be crowned.

  • The highly-anticipated winners of The Podysee Awards will be announced during a spectacular virtual ceremony. Tune in to watch as the nominees anxiously await their fate and the victors are crowned. It's a night of celebration, recognition, and pure podcasting joy!
