YOUR AWARDS NIGHT HOST


Award winning Comedian (and current Taskmaster contestant!) Maisie Adam will be taking centre stage this October.

"The British Podcast Awards are like the Oscars – if the Oscars were way funnier, had fewer dress codes, and no one slapped the host (hopefully!). 

 

It’s a brilliant celebration of the creativity, talent behind the storytelling and community that makes British podcasting so addictive. I’m buzzing to be part of it! I hope to see you there.”
