SILVER: History Story Time
BRONZE: World Wise Web
Best Fiction Podcast
WINNER: This Thing of Darkness

WINNER: Revisionist History
Malcolm Gladwell re-examines something from the past—an event, a person, an idea, even a song—and asks whether we got it right the first time.

SILVER: Bunga Bunga
BRONZE: How’s Work? by Esther Perel
Best Interview supported by us! (Pod Bible)
WINNER: Dead Honest
Georgie Vesty’s niche podcast interviews the people who helps us as we die and after we are dead – from police divers who recover bodies to a photographer who immortalises infants who have died to help parents as they grieve.
The judges said,
“The host was never afraid to ask difficult questions with genuine interest, finding extraordinary discussion points in what were for her guests, none of whom were media professionals or celebrities, everyday situations.”
SILVER: Masala Podcast
BRONZE: Today in Focus
Best New Podcast supported by Audible
(apparently there were over 250 entries for this category this year!)
WINNER: Field Recordings
A podcast where audio-makers stand silently in fields (or things that could be broadly interpreted as fields) – including Death Valley and Lewisham hospital. Field Recordings allowed audio producers to share the outdoors as we were confined by lockdowns.
“Beautifully produced, richly atmospheric and, best of all, entirely unique. We can’t wait to hear more”
SILVER: Prison Bag
BRONZE: Growing up with Gal-Dem
Best Sex & Relationships Podcast
WINNER: Tough Talks from Hits Radio Pride
Hits Radio Pride is the UK’s first national LGBTQ+ radio station from a major broadcaster, so it is worthy of an award for the way it has expanded the reach of intimate and revealing chats beyond heterosexual relationships.
The judges said…
“this series exemplified creativity through a fresh format and diverse guests to deliver a compelling, inclusive podcast with emotional and human connection at its heart”
SILVER: Masala Podcast
BRONZE: Brown Girls Do It Too
Best Radio Podcast
WINNER: The Skewer
This podcast from BBC Radio already has a host of awards, so it’s no surprise it picked up another one. In The Skewer, Jon Holmes brings you the week’s biggest stories, mixed up with satire, sound collage, historical quotes and more. Make sure you listen through headphones to get the full effect of this one.
“a breath-taking, stop-what-you’re-doing show… a truly unique and interesting take on audio storytelling.”
SILVER: Homeschool History
BRONZE: Danny Wallace’s Important Broadcast Podcast
Smartest Podcast supported by Podfollow
WINNER: VENT Documentaries
From VICE UK and Brent 2020, London Borough of Culture, this podcast explores the misadventures of youth – told by youth.

SILVER: Maddie’s Sound Explorers
BRONZE: Peter 2.0
Best Sport Podcast
WINNER: GIANT – A Spotify Original
The multi-award-winning podcast wins another award! GIANT is an audio documentary series that takes you deep into the stories you might know, you think you know, or you definitely should know. ‘Imagine This American Life, if all the stories somehow related to football.’ – The Guardian.

SILVER: The High Performance Podcast
BRONZE: F1: Beyond The Grid
Best True Crime Podcast
WINNER: Who Killed CJ Davis?
Presented by the crime correspondent for The Times, this was a special series looking at the unsolved murder of 14 year old CJ Davis, who in 2017 was shot dead in broad daylight in Newham, East London.
“A podcast that has changed our perception of the true crime genre. A remarkably personal investigation into an all too familiar story – adding in the impact on the loved ones of the people involved, and highlighting the devastation of every event of this kind.
“No-one can leave this podcast without questioning their own responsibility and experience around this subject”
SILVER: Hometown: A Killing
BRONZE: Hope High
Best Wellbeing Podcast
WINNER: Discovering Dementia
Discovering Dementia was started in 2017 by Penny Bell, who brings the listener into her family as they learn to live with her mum’s dementia. We said that is was a podcast worthy of more attention and we’re glad it’s received it!
“It clearly grew from the deeply personal experience, containing solid advice as well as personal experiences. We haven’t heard this kind of show anywhere else.”
SILVER: How Did We Get Here?
BRONZE: Cassie & Corey
Best Business Podcast supported by Wondery
WINNER: Doing It For The Kids
This podcast for parents who work freelance became particularly valuable this year, as many parents had to switch to working from home.
“A funny, intelligent, interactive podcast series that totally understands its target audience, and looks after them like family.”
SILVER: The Diary of a CEO
BRONZE: We Built This City: Greater Manchester
Best Podcast in the Welsh Language
WINNER: Dewr
A series of talks about life’s ups and downs – and how the arts and creativity can help through challenging and happy times.

SILVER: Gwrachod Heddiw
BRONZE: Clera
Acast Moment of the Year
WINNER: Where Is George Gibney?
When famous Olympic coach George Gibney was charged with child sexual abuse in 1993, he vanished before he stood trial. This epic investigative podcast follows a two year investigation by reporter Mark Horgan and producer Ciarán Cassidy.
The judges said:

SILVER: Ways to Change the World
BRONZE: Who Shat On The Floor At My Wedding?
The Bullseye Award supported by Global
WINNER: Some Families
Some Families is a podcast ‘for and about LGBTQ+ families’, says Lotte Jeffs, who lives with her wife and daughter in South East London. She and co-host Stu, an adoptive dad of three, welcome a diverse array of guests.
The judges said:
“what impresses most about the presenters is just how eloquent they are. A much needed podcast that covers important topics”
SILVER: The Confidence Fighter
BRONZE: Out of Home
Creativity Award supported by Audible
WINNER: Interconnected Voices
A UK-based political commentary and personal stories podcast, Interconnected Voices tells stories through a mixed-media format of visual and audio. . We spoke to Cherise Hamilton-Stephenson about Interconnected Voices last December.
“Engaging and informative, this podcast stood out from the crowd. It had great depth of political reporting and covered some very important issues. A very worthy gold winner.”
SILVER: Futile Attempts (At Surviving Tomorrow)
BRONZE: The Power of Sound
Best Network or Publisher
WINNER: Economist Radio
The Economist was founded in 1843 “to throw white light on the subjects within its range” and the magazine has expanded into a range of shows including The Economist Asks, Checks and Balances, The Intelligence and Babbage.
The BPA judges said they were impressed by “how central their podcasting arm was to their editorial and business operation.”
SILVER: Fun Kids
BRONZE: Plosive Productions
Best Documentary Podcast
WINNER: VENT Documentaries
A second win for VENT, and it sets the standard in this new award category.
The judges thought the podcast brings “new insight to this subject by centring voices that have been too often excluded from mainstream coverage.”
SILVER: My Mother’s Murder
BRONZE: The Secrets In Us
The Spotlight Award supported by Global
WINNER: Grounded With Louis Theroux
There have been a lot of new celebrity podcasts over the past year as everyone has been stuck at home, and unable to do much else. But Louis Theroux is a worthy winner, as his podcast has become a firm favourite with many listeners very quickly. Lockdown allowed Louis the excuse to speak to some high-profile people he’s been longing to talk to, and his interview skills are as good in podcast as they are elsewhere.
“a brilliant selection of high profile guests who open up in unexpected and disarmingly vulnerable ways. It’s a podcast that creates very impactful conversations on often crucial topics.”
SILVER: The YUNGBLUD Podcast
BRONZE: French & Saunders: Titting About
Best Current Affairs Podcast
WINNER: Your Broccoli Weekly
It’s been over a year since the last episode, but Your Broccoli Weekly still won Best Current Affairs podcast. The podcast brought a summary of 3 of the stories on everyone’s lips each week, and excelled in way both the host (Journalist Diyora Shadijanova) and the guests brought ideas and opinions often not heard elsewhere.
The judges said:
“The fact that a small team have been able to pull something off to this standard is really impressive.”
SILVER: The Intelligence
BRONZE: Interconnected Voices
BBC Sounds Listener’s Choice
WINNER: RedHanded
After getting a Silver award in the 2020 BPAs, the podcast chosen by the public this year is the true crime podcast RedHanded. RedHanded caters to many tastes by covering everything from big time serial killers, to hauntings, possessions, disturbing mysteries, and bizarre whodunits. More than 140,000 podcast listeners voted in this category.
SILVER: Sh**ged Married Annoyed
BRONZE: Football Weekly
Spotify Podcast Champion
TV Presenter, Radio Host and host of Happy Place, Fearne Cotton has won the Podcast Champion award for an individual who has championed the podcasting cause this year.
“With her show, Happy Place, Fearne Cotton has provided a platform for those who have found it hard to get coverage elsewhere in the media – and created a safe space for the community she built…”
The Gold Award
This last-minute special award was created to recognise a podcast that has been running (almost) since podcasts began. Helen Zaltzman and Olly Mann’s podcast Answer Me This ran for 15 years, and made 400 episodes, but recently came to an end. The judges said:
“After 400 episodes and fifteen years, Answer Me This!, is coming to an end. They’ve shown that it’s possible to make a living from your living room. And now they’ve shown how to bow out gracefully. We know they will each continue to do great things.”
Podcast Of The Year supported by Sony Music’s 4th Floor Creative
WINNER: VENT Documentaries
And it’s a third win for VENT! To be the winner of winners is a fantastic feat, and it is very exciting to see it given to a podcast that champions young creators – we should keep an eye on everyone involved in this one.
The judges said:
“It gave a fresh insight into real lives as lived by young people, and offered opportunities for those same young people to learn new skills… A series from the heart of a community that showcased new talent and touched all who heard it.”
Congratulations to all of this years winners!

]]>The post Spotify’s Sound Up Returns appeared first on POD BIBLE.
]]>This year’s programme will support Black women and non-binary people in the UK and Ireland, and is adapting to the global coronavirus pandemic. Twenty selected participants will receive computers, podcasting equipment and wifi access, along with other tools to ensure successful completion of the first four-week virtual course this fall. Afterward, participants will take what they’ve learned to create a podcast trailer, which will be submitted for participation in the second phase. From there, ten participants will travel to in-person training in 2021 to further develop their show.
The 2020 Sound Up submission period opens as Spotify releases research conducted among 1,000 Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic women in the UK, the findings of which include that 74% feel that BAME women are underrepresented in podcasting.
Courses like Sound Up continue to be important in elevating underrepresented voices in the podcast world, as the research also found that 50% say there is too much stereotyping of BAME women in podcasting. Spotify looks to combat the belief by 49% of respondents that there is a lack of strong BAME female voices in podcasting to look up to and serve as inspiration by staffing the educators and mentors of this year’s training with podcasters from the Black community.
The UK and Irish programme is open to Black women and non-binary people interested in sharing their stories through podcasting, even if they have no experience with the medium. Twelve of Spotify’s Sound Up participants have since launched their own shows, including Sangeeta Pillai of Masala Podcast.
Applications are open now at spotify.com/SoundUp through 4th August at 11.59 BST.
A previous version of this story erroneously stated the closing of application was 4th September.
