I got home just a little while ago and there were about 20 emails waiting for me from people congratulating me on the 2006 Weblog Award win for Best Podcast. I thought they just misunderstood the previous post and that the awards haven’t been announced yet… but then I checked out the official 2006 Weblog Awards (the “bloggies”) site… and sure enough…
THE MOVIE BLOG AUDIO EDITION HAS WON THE 2006 WEBLOG AWARD FOR BEST PODCAST!!!! Holy Crap!!!!! We even beat out my favorite podcast “This Week In Tech”!!!! I’m totally stunned!!!! More than stunned actually!!!
What makes this EXTRA special was the high calibre of the other nominees who I really suggest you check out sometime:
Indie Interviews
This Week In Tech
MobyLives
Girlspoke
Thanks to everyone who listens to us and voted for us. I think this marks an important shift in Podcasting on the internet. The most popular and successful podcasts have always (at least up to this point) been tech related shows (which only makes sense since techies were first to adopt the new technology). But now… a MOVIE site has taken the first Podcast of the Year award for the Bloggies. Podcast are developing a wider audience than just tech related… and I think the wide spectrums of the nominees reflects this.
So, congratulations to all the other nominees for their AMAZING shows… and thanks to all of you for your support. I think it’s time to crack open a drink!
