How to win a BPA: What makes a winning podcast?
05/11/23 • 30 min
The British Podcast Awards are some of the most prestigious accolades in podcasting - but just what does it take to win one of these coveted trophies? In this special mini-series, PodPod editor Adam Shepherd is joined by British Podcast Awards co-founders Matt Hill and Matt Deegan to look at how podcasters can make their shows stand out and take home a British Podcast Award of their very own.
This time, we’re taking a deeper look at two of last year’s winning entries - Decode and Effin’ Hormones - analysing their audio submissions to find out what put them ahead of the competition, and how this year’s entrants can learn from their success, including their use of structure, and how their submissions brought across the podcasts’ personality and tone.
