The Golden Crane Podcast Awards are an annual awards ceremony celebrating outstanding achievement in podcasts produced by Asian American creators, recognising excellence in storytelling, production, and creativity across a wide range of genres. Launched in 2020 by the Asian American Podcasters Association (AAP), the awards aim to highlight the voices and experiences of Asian American podcasters, providing a platform for diverse stories that might otherwise be overlooked in mainstream award circuits.
Nominations and entries are open to podcasts created by individuals and teams within the Asian American and Pacific Islander community, covering genres including arts, culture, business, drama, wellness, and more. Winners are selected by a panel of expert judges and celebrated across multiple categories, with the ceremony held annually to honour creativity, cultural representation, and the community-driven spirit of Asian American podcast creators.
