Anderson Cooper, Questlove, Brené Brown, Trevor Noah, Tig Notaro, Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova are just a few of the big name winners at the 2024 Signal Awards, which honor podcasts that define culture.
The Signal Awards announced their winners Tuesday morning and boasted 170,000 votes from podcast fans in just two short weeks.
There are two types of awards given: The Academy-decided Gold Award, and the public-voted Listeners’ Choice Award — and a number of honorees pulled dual honors. They include Cooper, Questlove, Brown, Noah, Notaro, Kara Swisher, Shannon Sharpe, Fortune Feimster, Mae Martin, “The Sporkful,” “The Stoop: Black, Queer and Free” and “Twenty Thousand Hertz.”
Other winners of the Gold Award are Oprah, Katie Couric, “Death, Sex & Money” and “Today, Explained.” Meanwhile, Listeners’ Choice Award winners include “Dark History,” “Prosecuting Donald Trump,” “The Nightingale of Iran,” “The Prof G Pod With Scott Galloway,” “Victory Light With The Kid Mero” and “Who Killed JFK?”
Furthermore, for the second year in a row, Audible has been awarded The Signal Awards’ Company of The Year, having earned the most honors across all categories. A winner’s party for the awards is scheduled for Nov. 12 at Brooklyn’s Public Records. During the festivities, “Where Should We Begin?’s” Esther Perel and “Las Culturistas’” Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang will be honored with the inaugural Special Achievement Awards.
