🥁🥁🥁And the winners of the International Women’s Podcast Awards Are...🏆🏆🏆🍭 👂 ADD THESE BEAUTIFUL DIAMONDS TO YOUR QUEUE 🌈 🤸♀️
Bonjour. Today is Monday, October 12, 2026. There are 158 days until my next Disney Cruise. Last week I was busy in Toronto celebrating women in audio (see below.) Next week I’ll be in Richmond at RESONATE. Come find me! On with the show! xoxo lauren Podcast The Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. Tink just wrapped up hosting the sixth annual International Women’s Podcast Awards with a lovely celebration in Toronto. (You can watch the whole thing here.) It felt so damn good to be in a room full of people supporting women in audio, and to be among many of my heroes. I met Ellie of Butt Out, Baby! for the first time! I hugged Kattie Laur and Samantha Hodder. I also added so many new shows to my queue. So this week, I’m sharing all of the winners and nominees. These are the shows that made our judges go WOWZA and they are worth a listen. I would be shocked if you had heard of even half of them. Most were new to even me. This is why Tink was such a good fit for hosting these awards. We believe it’s often the indie shows with the least amount of resources doing great work for the love of the game who are making the most notable things.
