Australian Podcast Awards

18 March 2019

Tickets for the Australian Podcast Awards ceremony are now on sale. Don’t miss this great opportunity to attend and be a part of history as the industry recognise the creativity of podcasters from across Australia, across 24 different categories throughout the night.

Vision Australia Radio is proud to be a media partner to The Australian Podcast Awards in both 2018 and 2019. It’s a partnership that has been gratefully welcomed by the organisers of the event.

Vision Australia radio and audio services manager Conrad Browne said making content more accessible to the blind and low-vision community is what we constantly strive to do.

"Having our speciality content available on our podcast service means that programs are available on demand where our audience wants them and when they want them,” he said.

The Australian Podcast awards was established in 2017 to recognise and reward Australian podcasters. Categories reflect content being produced in this country, and celebrate the industry and community that is taking shape around this content. Awards are judged by an independent panel of experts.

"Organising the Australian Podcast Awards has helped me understand how podcasting plays a huge part in the lives of Australians who are blind or vision impaired," said awards founder Dave Gertler.

"The people at Vision Australia Radio have been providing this important service since well before podcasting even existed. We are really proud to be celebrating this synergy between podcasting and inclusion by initiating a partnership that will bring more Australian podcasts into the ears of VAR's community, for whom consuming audio is such a critical way of life."

Vision Australia Radio is providing promotional support to the Australian Podcast Awards across stations in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and regional Victoria, as well as on our digital channels, leading up to and beyond the awards event on May 18 2019.
