Even in a field crowded with heavyweights like Oprah, Mel Robbins, NPR, and Audible, a smaller contender can still walk away with hardware. Everything Podcasts has done exactly that, earning a Bronze award at the 7th Annual Signal Awards for its series APM – The Music Makes It.
The Signal Awards, based in New York City, exist to celebrate the podcasts and creators who are defining the audio landscape. For Everything Podcasts, this Bronze win marks recognition for what the company calls “premium audio production, innovative narrative design, and strategic branded storytelling.”
APM – The Music Makes It Wins! This award is proof, when making fearless storytelling choices that push the boundaries, the industry takes notice.
