Winners of each category will also be in the running to win the prestigious iHeart Podcast of the Year Award.

Mitch Churi, host of the 2022 Australian Podcast Awards, said: “Australia truly does lead the pack on a global scale in terms of original, entertaining podcast content and in my opinion is the future of Australian media, so I’m so thrilled they have asked a Radio personality to host the event. Jokes aside,

“I’m thrilled to be hosting this year’s Australian Podcast Awards and help uncover and celebrate the best of the best in the Aussie Podcast industry – Its going to be a great night!”

Matt Deegan, director at the Australian Podcast Awards, said: “Every year we’re amazed by the talent and creativity coming through the Australian Podcast Awards. This year’s list represents the best of the best, and it’s encouraging to see both industry heavyweights and fierce independents rising to the top.
