Rob-G-Ambies-Libsyn

In late March 2021, The Podcast Academy will recognize and award 24 podcasts, individuals, or teams with an “Ambies Award!” It is a celebration of those who have created quality and inspiring podcast audio for billions around the world.

This live-streamed global event will celebrate and promote the best and most compelling podcasts in the world on March 28, 2021, at 5 pm PST from Los Angeles, California. The Podcast Academy is excited to produce this show with Podcast Movement.

The Podcast Academy is still accepting podcast show nominees at www.ambies.com through December 15, 2020, and will announce the nominees on February 2021.

The Podcast Academy members pay $100 for submission, and non-members pay $175. The organization membership costs $100, and Students can join for $75 on our website.

Given the COVID-19 pandemic situation and the forecasted continued travel restriction recommendations, the ceremony will be closed to the public and held on a videocast soundstage. The hour-long live-streamed Ambies Awards event will be co-hosted by two well-known and popular podcast hosts.

Following the lead of such events as the Emmys, the audience will see the award winners reacting in real-time through this virtual event. The live-streaming and on-demand after-event playback of the Ambies Awards ceremony will be available to a worldwide audience. The Podcast Academy looks forward to working with the community to encourage and excite listeners to attend.
