How to win a podcast award QnA in Feb!

Podcast Awards are a great way to build recognition and a respected profile for your podcast. But how do you enter them – and most importantly win one?

Joining us online at Febuary’s MIC’s Podcast Club is Matt Deegan the co-founder of the British Podcast Awards and a bunch of award-winning podcasters to tell you how to win a podcast award.

Wednesday 9 February 18:00 – 20:00 (UK Time)

MIC’s Podcast Club is a community of podcasters from everywhere. We help each other make brilliant podcasts.

This February we’re talking about how to win a podcast award. First up is Matt Deegan (bio below 👇), he’s the co-founder of the British Podcast Awards. The annual awards have become the most respected podcast accolades in the UK and across the world. He’ll be giving you top tips to get noticed by the BPA judges and a look at how some previous winners did it.

After Matt, we have a chat with a panel of award-winning podcasters to explore how they went about entering and taking the crown at other podcast awards, as well as the BPA’s. We’ll also take a look at if having an award-winning podcast under your belt, actually makes a difference. They’ll be:

🥇  Frankie Tortora – Doing It For The Kids (Best Business Podcast, British Podcast Awards 2021)
🥇  Ian Sanders – Cold War Conversations (Best Arts & History Podcast, Quite The Podcast Awards 2021)
🥇  Charles Commins – It’s All Cobblers To Me (Club Podcast of the Year, Football Supporters’ Association Awards 2021)

The How to Win A Podcast QnA session is hosted by our Vic, who’s been nominated for a few podcast awards and was a judge at last year’s British Podcast Awards.
