The Canadian Podcast Awards proudly celebrated another incredible year, honouring the talent, passion, and dedication that define Canada’s podcasting community. With over 2,300 votes cast and participation from more than 1,000 individuals, this year’s event highlighted the continued growth and influence of Canadian podcasts.
This year’s awards were filmed at Little Canada in Toronto—an immersive experience that captures the sights, sounds, and wonder of Canada in miniature scale.
“What better way to showcase this country’s big stories and voices than at 1/87th scale?” said John Leschinski, Founder of the Canadian Podcast Awards. “Little Canada’s dedication to storytelling and celebrating Canada made it the perfect backdrop for this year’s awards.”
The ceremony featured presenters who are not only distinguished in their fields, but also past award winners. Among them were Juice Boxx (Debut), Craig Baird (People’s Choice), Trevor Campbell (Adult), and Tchadas Leo (Indigenous).
The event was made possible through the significant support of Shure, whose ongoing contributions continue to elevate the Canadian podcasting industry. Additionally, Recycle My Electronics generously supported the Business, Society & Culture, and Technology categories.
“Every voice has its unique frequency, and every story resonates differently,” said John Leschinski. “Shure’s involvement signifies an enduring commitment to capturing these voices with clarity and precision.”
Erika Casupanan, the first Canadian winner of CBS’s Survivor and a first-time podcaster, took home two awards in her debut year: Debut and Television & Film.
“It is such an honor to have joined this community. I felt so loved. I felt so supported.” said Erika Casupanan.
Other multiple standout wins included “Geist” excelling in Arts and Original Music, and “Lullaby: The Fear Podcast” taking home awards for People’s Choice and Production.
The Canadian Podcast Awards congratulates all the winners and extends gratitude to the entire podcasting community for their remarkable contributions and dedication to storytelling.
