The Golden Globes introduced a category for Best Podcast this year, acknowledging the massive influence of digital audio storytelling. American rapper Snoop Dogg had the honor of presenting the first-ever award in this category. This addition marks a significant shift in how "entertainment" is defined by major awards bodies.
The move has been welcomed by creators worldwide, as it provides a prestigious platform for podcasters who have traditionally been overlooked by mainstream cinema and TV awards. Industry experts believe this will lead to more high-budget podcast productions and collaborations between Hollywood stars and digital creators.
