A pivotal year for the UK radio industry was marked at the Aria Awards in Leeds, with podcasts winning in four categories (outside those specifically aimed at podcasts). If anyone can make a podcast, then anyone can win....
Best Fictional Storytelling: Double Bubble, a five-part 'micro-drama' from the Prison Radio Association, written by and starring former inmate Carl Cattermole, on the spiral of debt started by loan sharks.
Best Sports Show: Mo-Joe - An 18 week Marathon Training Diary, from 7 Digital, available on Audible. Presenter George Lamb is helped by Sir Mo Farah and YouTuber Joe Wicks.
Best Specialist Music Show: Soundtracking with Edith Bowman. A weekly podcast that has been running for two years, featuring writers, actors, directors and composers on film music.
Funniest Show: Fortunately, with Fi Glover and Jane Garvey. Recorded drinking posh coffee inside and outside Broadcasting House, now with a single guest each week. From the Radio 4 'digital' stable. 66 episodes currently available.
Griefcast won the Best Podcast. Cariad Lloyd talks to a range of people, many of them comedians, talking about death and grief. Running since 2016, It's already won Podcast of the Year, and two other categories, in the British Podcast Awards.
You, Me and The Big C, featuring the late Rachael Bland, from 5Live, won Best New Show/Podcast. There are currently 20 episodes available.
