The Secrets to Winning an Award (And Why It's Not What You Think)
Winning an award isn't about luck, vanity metrics, or chasing trends — it's about clarity of voice, audience connection, strategic positioning, and knowing how to tell your story powerfully. In this candid and practical panel discussion, award-winning podcast host Nicole Goodman — who is also a judge and advisor on the board at the Independent Podcast Awards — joins award-winning podcaster Lauren Mishcon and Emma Turner, Founder of the Independent Podcast Awards, to break down what actually makes an award-winning podcast stand out.
Drawing from their combined experience as creators, judges and industry leaders, the panel will unpack what judges are really listening for, common mistakes creators make when submitting, and how to build a show that is award-worthy long before you fill in an entry form. The session will include practical takeaways, real examples, and interactive moments where the audience can reflect on their own positioning and pitch. Ideal for independent creators, emerging podcasters, and established hosts looking to elevate their show.
