From comedy to kids, lifestyle to true crime, and the hosts who bring it all to life, Audio Always podcasts have been recognised across the shortlist for the 2026 British Podcast Awards

Here is the full list.

Best Hosts: William and Jordan, Help I Sexted My Boss

William and Jordan have built one of the most distinct double acts in UK podcasting. Thoroughly deserved.

Best Lifestyle Podcast: Get A Grip

Get A Grip has had quite a year. The show took its first steps on stage this summer with a live show at Crossed Wires festival, and now finds itself nominated for Best Lifestyle Podcast at the British Podcast Awards. 

Best True Crime Podcast: Codename Badger

Codename Badger, one of the standout podcasts this year from our Always True Crime collection is nominated for Best True Crime Podcast. If you haven’t binged yet, where have you been!?

Best Comedy Podcast: Joe and James Fact Up

Joe and James, doing what they do best. Sort of getting through facts and mythbusting assumptions every week. Joe, James and the whole team make something genuinely funny, week in, week out.

Best Kids Podcast: Today with tonies

Today with tonies serves a very different audience from the rest of this list, and that is part of what makes it special. A Best Kids Podcast nomination is wonderful recognition of the care and craft that goes into making great audio for young listeners.

The British Podcast Awards take place later this year, and we will be cheering loudly for all of them.
