The 2007 Podcast Awards winners were just announced. The Overnightscape, nominated in the General category, did not win.
I want to thank everyone for all the time and effort spent voting, many of you every day. It was great to see all the effort on behalf of the show!
The show that won in the General category, “Show Girls”, is run by this guy Franklin McMahon, and the stars include Karen and Karla from Rumor Girls, KFC from Sky Diver Girls, and Soccergirl – all of whom I like and have met at various podcasting events – so I am happy for them, and congratulate them on winning.
Out of 4,097 shows nominated, The Overnightscape was one of the 220 finalists (actually 201 since 19 shows were nominated in 2 categories) – so that in itself is pretty cool.
