The Golden Globes have announced the addition of a brand-new category: Best Podcast. This marks the award show’s expansion beyond recognizing achievements solely in film and television.
Six podcasts will be nominated for the inaugural award. To be eligible, a podcast must rank within the top 25. Further specific eligibility criteria will be announced in the coming weeks.
The first-ever winner of the Best Podcast Golden Globe will be revealed at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony, which Nikki Glaser will host on January 11, 2026. This new category signals the podcasting medium’s growing prominence and artistic merit within the broader entertainment landscape.
