From hundreds of entries, we have a list of 61 finalists for this year’s awards.
Winners will be announced at the RadioDays Asia Conference in Kuala Lumpur, 2-4 September, giving you about two weeks to vote in the People’s Choice section of the awards.

* Judging in the Asia Podcast Awards 2024 follows a rigorous quality process. Usually the top three submissions are chosen as finalists, but where the marks are very close, more finalists are included. Marking is done out of 100. If a finalist is named in this list, it is likely they scored in a range between 75-100%.
Other entries that may not have achieved finalist status would likely have scored 50-75%, which is also considered a significant achievement. If entries did not reach at least the 50% cut-off mark they were not eligible to be a finalist.
From eligible finalists, one Indie and one Major winner will be selected if there are suitable entries in each division. Winners will be awarded recognised in our Winners list and profile stories and will be announced at the RadioDays Asia Conference in September in KL. We hope to see you there!
