And The Winner Is…

Last week, the podcasting industry came together in Las Vegas for the annual Ambies Awards at Podcast Movement Evolutions. This year was especially noteworthy as several members of the Black Podcasters Association were directly nominated or part of a nominated podcast production.

It was a momentous occasion for our community as we were able to recognize and celebrate the incredible #BlackExcellence of these dedicated, hard-working, and independent podcast ambassadors.

And though everyone nominated did not win, in our eyes, they are all winners.

We were able to celebrate this year’s Best DIY Podcast winner, Anna DeShawn, host of the Queer News podcast.

We couldn’t be more happier for Anna DeShawn! When the news dropped, we all went wild for her!
