Best Podcast

Judges want to hear podcasts that give a unique and fresh insight into an aspect of architecture. Outstanding entries in this category will include shows that reflect architecture’s diversity of ideas and give listeners new angles on the building and architects they love, with genuine and passionate presentation.

Podcasts about work and careers, including in-depth interviews with experts, are also welcome.

This category accepts entries from practices and individuals, including professional journalists, online magazines and companies on condition that the subject being discussed is architecture.

The pod must have had at least three episodes recorded between autumn 2022 and February ’24.
