And the 2026 host is... Cheryl The Queen! ❤️

After storming into the top four on the first series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK in 2019, Cheryl has been unstoppable ever since. Being the co-host of independent podcast ‘Killers, Cults and Queens’ alongside Nikki Druce, Cheryl knows all too well the workload of an indie creator.

Cheryl The Queen said: “I’m beyond thrilled to be hosting this year’s Independent Podcast Awards. I am in awe of all the independent creators out there making podcasts - we know how much love, passion and work gets poured into them so we just want to be able to celebrate everyone’s hard work! If there’s one thing you can guarantee on me bringing, the glamour and the fun will be in full effect so brace yourself for one fun evening my poddy divas!”

We are so excited to announce that YouTube are the official Headline Partner for this year's Independent Podcast Awards! 🏆

YouTube has established itself as a premier destination for video podcasting, helping creators reach global audiences and build deep, lasting fandoms - making it a natural partner for the IPAs.

Alison Lomax, Managing Director of YouTube UKI said: "We are thrilled to celebrate the innovation and creativity of the UK’s independent podcasting sector at this year’s awards. Podcast creators are a key part of the UK’s creator ecosystem, and YouTube has become a home where they are now building sustainable businesses. We’ve always believed that great stories should have no format boundaries, and we’re honoured to spotlight these incredible voices.”

On the night, a representative from YouTube will reveal the Independent Podcast Of The Year 🎙️.

With this year's judging well underway, we wanted to shine a light on the amazing individuals who have given their time to help us judge all of your incredible entries. Without our team of expert judges, we simply couldn’t run these awards 🫶

Our judges have listened to some pretty amazing entries, and it's made us even more excited for the live show!
