The Canadian Podcast Awards are annual awards presented by the Canadian Podcast Awards organization that honor excellence and achievement in Canadian podcasting. Established in 2018, these awards celebrate outstanding achievements across a wide range of podcast formats and genres produced in Canada, highlighting the innovation, storytelling quality, diversity and creativity of Canadian creators and productions.
The awards recognize both independent creators and established media, showcasing exceptional podcasts in categories such as arts, comedy, documentary, education, health, Indigenous storytelling, news, sports, technology, fiction and more.
Winners are determined through a process involving nominations and voting by registered Canadian podcasters, and select categories also feature public voting (such as the People’s Choice Award), reflecting both peer recognition and listener engagement.
The Canadian Podcast Awards aim to spotlight remarkable storytelling and production excellence while fostering community, collaboration and growth within the Canadian podcasting industry.
