Webby podcast winners: Stitcher and Wondery score multiples

The Webby Awards were released this week, and the focus here is the Podcasts category (revised from the previous categorization of Digital Audio & Podcasts).

Inside the category, the Webbys recognize 23 sub-categories like Business, Crime & Justice, sports, and Technology. The announcement page is rather difficult to navigate (ironically), and The Verge has helpfully provided a simple list of winners:

  • Arts & Culture: New York Times Audio’s Still Processing
  • Best Branded Podcast or Segment: Trained by Nike, Gizmodo’s The Sauce
  • Webby Award for Best Host: Pod Save the People

Note that each category has two winners: one for People’s Choice, and one for “Best.” Non-winning nominees are note represented here, as are the creator/network credits.
