The British Podcast Awards, the biggest celebration of excellence, passion, and originality in UK podcasting, are officially back for their 9th year – and they’re bigger than ever!
After two hugely successful sell-out years at HERE at The Outernet, the 2025 event is set to be the most ambitious yet, moving to a brand-new venue: indigo at The O2 on Thursday, 2nd October 2025. This new venue offers more space to accommodate a growing podcasting community, allowing the biggest names in podcasting, industry professionals and fans to come together in celebration of the UK’s thriving podcast scene.
Entries are now open at britishpodcastawards.com with a deadline of 15th May 2025.
Podcasters from all corners of the UK will be vying for accolades in an expanded list of categories, including the prestigious Listeners' Choice Award, which last year saw over 220,000 public votes cast.
This year, the British Podcast Awards are evolving to reflect the ever-growing diversity of the podcasting landscape with the introduction of three exciting new categories:
Video Innovation – Celebrating outstanding visual podcasting, including editing, production, and audience engagement in video format.
Education – Honouring podcasts that inform, teach, and inspire learning.
Lifestyle – Recognising the best in beauty, fashion, hobbies, travel, and more.
Once entries close in May, over 200 independent judges will carefully listen and – for the first time – watch the entries. Those interested in getting involved in judging can self-nominate via THIS link.
The awards will continue to discount fees for freelancers, charities and small production companies, which make up the majority of the sector. The British Podcast Awards continues to partner with the Podcasting Seriously Fund who provide entry fee support from independent BIPOC, Queer and/or Trans audio producers.
Get ready for a celebration of podcasting’s finest at the British Podcast Awards 2025.
