Podcast Peer Awards Announced
Oct 4th, 2006 | By James Lewin | Category: Audio Podcasting, Citizen Media, Video PodcastsThe Podcast Peer Awards, a podcasting award chosen by members of the Podcast Peers site, have been announced. The most honored show was Digital Flotsam, which won in three categories: Favorite, Best Production, and Best Storytelling.
“I am thrilled, amazed, and grateful for the votes I received,” said P.W. Fenton, the creator and producer of the show.
“Anyone can win an award where they let anyone vote daily over and over. But to win an award where your peers recognize you means a lot more,” commented Dr. Grant, who won the Family Friendly category for The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd.
Other winners include Comedy4Cast for the Best Comedy Podcast and Podcast411 for the Best How-To/Education Podcast.

The Podcast Peer Awards knock the socks off any other awards out there. It isn’t a popularity contest where listeners vote every day, only other podcasters can vote and they only get a single vote in each category. It’s the Academy Awards of podcasting. Congratulations to all the winners!
