The annual podcasting competition that was launched in 2019 is back for another year with even more prizes up for grabs.
To go in the running, podcasters are invited to submit an original podcast, 1-2 minutes in length. This can be on any topic and in any style – a condensed version of an existing podcast, a teaser for a longer episode, or a snappy show. Anyone can enter, even if you’re a beginner. All we’re looking for is podcasts with big ideas!
