The Audio Production Awards have announced their nominees for 2024.
The Awards celebrate the impressive talent the audio industry has to offer, recognising the people behind some of your favourite shows, whether they're podcasts or on the radio - or even audiobooks.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony at the BFI Southbank in London on 20th November.
Production Company of the Year is being contested by Almost Tangible, Blanchard House, Novel, Overcoat Media, Unedited, and Whistledown Productions. Meanwhile the most sought-after individual award, Producer of the Year, could be won by Charlotte Mélen, Ed Morrish, Jon Holmes, Leonie Thomas, Meera Kumar or Talia Augustidis.
Famous names can be found in the Best Ensemble Cast category, with Nish Kumar and Coco Khan, Sayeeda Warsi and David Baddiel, and William Hanson and Jordan North among those nominated. Likewise, the Best Presenter category is stacked with star talent, with Dan Snow, Josie Long and Craig Charles in the running amongst others.
Tickets for the ceremony are available now. A Pay What You Can scheme is available for discounted or free tickets and the Entry Level Audio Network are putting on a pre-awards mixer for those looking to make new connections.
