, Emmy-winning producer, writer, comedian, actor and podcast host, to host its third annual Awards for Excellence in Audio — a.ka. “The Ambies,” positioned as the Oscars of the podcast space.
“As a podcaster myself, one of the beautiful things about the medium is getting the opportunity to have insightful long-form conversations,” Wilmore said in a statement. “That and not always having to wear pants. But for my peers, I plan to wear my fanciest pants as I serve as the host of the Podcast Academy’s Awards for Excellence in Audio on March 7.”
The 2023 Ambies will highlight 185 nominees across 26 categories with winners to be selected by voting members of the Podcast Academy, in addition to a Governor’s Award. Nominees are slated to be announced later this month. Eligible new members will be able to vote to determine this year’s winners if they submit applications by Feb.
