The Signal Awards

The Signal Awards are a awards program dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the podcasts that define culture. They are designed to spotlight the most powerful, impactful, and innovative audio projects being produced today, regardless of platform or production budget. The awards honor excellence across multiple levels—Gold, Silver, and Bronze—within categories such as Best Podcast, Limited Series & Specials, Individual Episodes, and Branded Storytelling. In addition, audiences can vote for their favorites in each category through the Listener’s Choice Award. Final selections are made by an academy of industry experts who listen to thousands of hours of content to elevate the most deserving work.
