International Stage

The Ambies, presented by The Podcast Academy, are widely recognized as the highest honor in podcasting, celebrating the creators, voices, and stories that are shaping culture through audio. Designed to reflect the full breadth of the medium, The Ambies spotlight excellence across genres, formats, and platforms, bringing together the industry’s most influential talent on a singular, prestigious stage.

Within this, the International Ambies stand as a highly curated and exclusive distinction, honoring exceptional podcasting from around the world and recognizing the global impact of storytelling beyond the U.S. market. With a more selective set of categories and honorees, this segment elevates international voices redefining the medium, offering partners a unique opportunity to align with podcasting’s most compelling and culturally diverse creators on a global stage.

Hosted by Krupa Padhy,  BBC World Service Journalist and Woman's Hour Presenter,  The Podcast Academy will present the International Impact Award and the Governors Award, honoring individuals and podcasts whose work has made a significant and lasting contribution to the global audio landscape.
