Listeners' Choice, Powered by Spotify
This year, we are thrilled to announce that the publicly voted Listeners' Choice Award is officially powered by Spotify.
This exciting partnership gives podcast fans an even bigger platform to champion their favorite shows. It’s your chance to directly support the creators you love and help them take home one of the night’s most prestigious, fan-driven honours. Voting opens on 9 July.
Who will join previous winners 'Betwixt The Sheets: The History of Sex, Scandal & Society', 'Help I Sexted My Boss' and the 3 time past winner 'Redhanded' in the Listeners' Choice Hall of Fame?
