The International Women’s Podcast Awards recognize moments of brilliance in podcasting and the women that produce them.

We champion and celebrate their work, both behind the mic and behind the scenes, from podcast hosts and producers, to editors and writers.

Proudly queer and trans inclusive, the IWPAs showcase creative excellence across multiple categories, recognizing the best in the business from across the world, from those who are self-taught and producing shows solo, to those who form part of larger teams at established audio companies.

With entries received from 35 different countries in 2025, a panel of judges consisting of podcasters, journalists and experienced professionals evaluate the submitted entries each year and select the winners across multiple categories.

The 2026 International Women’s Podcast Awards will be co-presented by Tink Media and Everybody Media.
