I walked from my San Francisco house to the Second Annual Stitcher Awards last night, and there was Mr. Snap Judgment himself announcing winners.
“If you and your friends didn’t know what podcasting was last year, that’s on you,” Glynn Washington told a Mission District audience of podcasters. “If you still don’t know this year, get yourself some new friends.”
This was followed by a meditation on his mother and Jesus (really). Then came the awards. Stitcher listeners cast 230,000 votes for shows in almost 20 categories. And the drum roll please:
Best Overall Show: The Joel Rogan Experience; Best Storytelling: The Moth; Best Technology: The Pocketnow Weekly; Best Comedy: Comedy Bang Bang; Best Entertainment and Pop Culture: SModcast >> Hollywood Babble-On.
Here are the rest of the winners. PS: Good Job Brain did a fun pre-show trivia quiz. PPS: I had an interesting conversation with this guy.
