From the winners, the MediaVoices team chose a podcast that had scored highly in all the categories it had entered, as well as been remarked on specifically by judges for its quality.

Publisher Podcast of the Year 2026 – When Charity Goes Wrong, Haymarket Media Group


Our final category celebrates a leading publisher of podcasts. This year, we’ve chosen a publisher who produces consistently excellent work across a number of categories. We were especially impressed by not only continuing a daily podcast about a vital war long after mainstream media interest has faded, but taking the same model and launching a second one this year.
