To be honest, I was surprised that my last post on the podcast awards garnered any sort of response. At least I know that some people do, in fact, read my blog.
In any case, someone from the awards posted a comment to my last post, and I thought I’d quote it on the front page:
While no Awards System is perfect it is the People’s Choice Podcast Awards thus those shows with higher nomination numbers do stand a better chance. But I can say without hesitation that their were shows that got a lot of nominations who graded low in the other criteria that caused the show to be edged out.
The people doing the grading are listeners and most worked as many as 20 hours on a single category so while we try to do the best we feel that the podcasters that have audiences that are engaged is very significant trait that podcasters can learn a lot from.
Good luck next year and again while nothing is perfect we do our best to make it fair.
As I said, I do have to give them credit to responding, even to a lowly little blog such as this one, and he does note that it is the People’s Choice awards and thus, obviously, those podcasts that the people like have a better chance of winning.
This is the Otakon Day 3 Report. Hey! I got it out when I said I would! Sort of.
