I recently was told about this site. It is an award site for individual Podcasts to obtain awards for their programs. I think, in theory, this is a great way to praise the work Podcasters do. However, in looking at some of the finalists, I noticed some Podcasts were not even mentioned. (Major Nelson, SquadXP, GamerAddictHotline, TheWidget, GamerAndy, TheVideoGamesShow, GoNintendo, PS3Countdown, and XBLR) I was curious why. Is the “PODCAST AWARDS” more or less a way to get Podcasters to promote their site, or is it truely what the populus thinks. I am under the impression (from looking at the way the awards are run) that it is a little of both. The Podcast must refer it’s listeners and non-listeners (forum members, friends, etc..) to vote at Podcast awards. Thus bringing heavy traffic to the awards site. In return the “Winner” of the awards gets traffic directed back at it. . So I ask: Is this a true depiction of excellence in Podcasting, or is it merely a way for PodcastAwards.com to build a large web-site?
