We’re excited to kick off this year’s nominations for the 2nd annual Women Podcasters Awards honoring and recognizing women’s achievements! This international people’s choice style of awards event is designed to elevate and amplify women’s voices globally and within the podcasting industry. Nominations are now open for podcasters, broadcasters, producers, and expert guests.

Following a hugely successful inaugural year with almost 400 nominees and 15,000 voters, the awards continue to grow with overflowing support from the podcasting industry.

New for 2025: Incorporating feedback from nominees and sponsors, there are a few updates and changes. The awards now recognize Producers and the categories have been combined and reduced. As a result, there are 4 types of awards: Podcasters (shows with an RSS feed), Broadcasters (shows with no RSS feed, for example those on YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram), Producers, and Expert Guests. Under the Podcaster awards type, there are 25 categories.

Additionally, due to the unexpectedly high costs during the inaugural year, the fees have been raised slightly. However, we remain committed to keeping the fees as low as possible to ensure this opportunity is accessible to as many women podcasters as possible. The voting window has also been shortened.

“In our inaugural year, we had almost 400 nominees and 15,000 voters, and 2025 will be even bigger!" says Jennifer Henczel, founder of the Women Podcasters Awards. "This year, we’ve introduced an Awards Resources Hub filled with tools and training to empower nominees and sponsors to fully leverage this collaborative opportunity.”
