The awards ceremonies will be held September 2nd at DragonCon, a science fiction/fantasy convention, in Atlanta.
 
Dave Hitt, the director of the awards, explained why the ceremonies are being held at Atlanta’s DragonCon. “One of the purposes of these awards is to encourage more people to listen to podcasts, so we wanted to hold this at a convention that wasn’t just about podcasting. DragonCon is a celebration of art and pop culture of all kinds, and last year their podcasting track was a huge success. Holding the PPA awards there is a perfect fit.”
