The fifth International Women’s Podcast Awards took place yesterday at the BBC Broadcasting House in London.
Presented by Comedian Samantha Baines, the event was a huge success with most people staying until the very end (and only leaving after getting kicked out by a friendly BBC staffer who kindly asked the audience to drink up and leave at about 10.15pm).
