Hollywood Bias In Podcast Awards
- The Golden Globes' new podcast category favored Hollywood celebrities over long-standing creators.
- The hosts see this as establishment gatekeeping that ignores true podcast industry leaders.
Fame Versus Podcast Craft
- Celebrity podcasts often chart high due to existing fame, not necessarily craft or longevity.
- That dynamic creates tension when mainstream awards attempt to rank podcasts.
Design Awards To Honor Founders
- If institutions add new categories, ensure they reward the people who built the medium.
- Otherwise the award will read as a legacy-protection move and lose credibility.
