US EditionGolden Globe Awards Introduce Best Podcast Category for the First Time
The Golden Globes will honor the top 25 podcasts for their creativity and influence, with six nominees unveiled in December and the winner announced at the January ceremony.
- On Thursday, the Golden Globes, presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, dropped a 25-title list of podcasts eligible for the inaugural Best Podcast award on Thursday evening.
- Announced in May, the Best Podcast category recognizes podcasting's rising popularity and new storytelling forms, with eligibility determined by Luminate, audio analytics firm owned by Penske Media.
- The Top 25 list features high-profile programs such as The Joe Rogan Experience, Call Her Daddy, SmartLess and The Megyn Kelly Show, spanning comedy, true crime and political genres.
- Only six nominees will be unveiled on Dec. 8, and the winner will be announced at the 83rd Golden Globes ceremony on Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026, with comedian Nikki Glaser hosting.
- This is the first major awards recognition of podcasts, signaling the Globes' expansion into digital formats, though some media professionals called it a Penske Media `racket` due to ownership ties with Luminate.
