Nominations for the 2024 iHeartRadio Podcast Awards have been released, featuring contenders from some of the biggest pods in sports, comedy, Hip-Hop, and more.
Shannon Sharpe, a relative newbie in the podcast space, had a great inaugural year resulting in his Club Shay Shay podcast earning a nomination for Best Sports Podcast, though fans of the YouTube series know its range extends beyond the gridiron. He’ll be going up against The Dan Le Batard Show, New Heights, Pardon My Take and Around The NFL.
Joe Budden also earned a nomination for Best Overall Host, though The Joe Budden Podcast itself failed to rack up any nominations. The opposite goes for Million Dollaz Worth Of Game, which earned a nom for Best Music Podcast and will go up against last year’s winner, Questlove Supreme, Disgraceland, Popcast and Song Exploder.
Other notable nominations include Baby, This Is Keke Palmer (Best Comedy), The 85 South Show (Best Overall Ensemble) and Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast (Best Advice/ Inspirational). Check out the full list below.
