Important Update on the Podcast Awards
September 25, 2025
We are heartbroken to share that the Podcast Awards, originally scheduled for September 28, 2025, will not take place as planned.
With the unexpected passing of our founder and host, Todd Cochrane, we are unable to move forward at this time with essential steps of the awards process, including final voting, preparing trophies, and producing the show.
If you were working with Todd on any aspect of the Podcast Awards (sponsorships, logistics, voting, trophies, production, or communications), please contact us at podcast@podcastconnect.com as we work to piece things together.
The Podcast Awards have always been a celebration of podcasters’ creativity, dedication, and impact. While this year’s event must be postponed, our hope is to regroup and bring the awards back in the future, continuing the tradition Todd began and championed for so many years.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult time. For updates, please visit podcastawards.com.
