The Irish Podcast Awards are annual awards presented by the organizers of the British Podcast Awards that honor excellence and achievement in Irish podcasting. Launched in 2021 as an extension of the British Podcast Awards, these awards celebrate outstanding achievements across a wide range of podcast formats and genres produced in Ireland or by Irish creators and productions.
The awards recognize both independent creators and established media producers, showcasing exceptional podcasts in categories such as factual, comedy, history, arts & culture, news & current affairs, climate, business, true crime and more, with some categories featuring public voting like the Listeners’ Choice Award alongside judged categories.
Winners are determined through a process involving nominations and judging by a panel of industry experts, and select categories also include public voting, reflecting both peer recognition and listener engagement.
The Irish Podcast Awards aim to spotlight remarkable storytelling, production excellence and innovation within the Irish podcasting landscape while fostering growth, community and visibility for creators across Ireland’s audio sector.
