The British Podcast Awards<\/strong> (powered by Audible) took place last Saturday. If you missed all of the winners, what are you waiting for? All you need to do is pop right back into your inbox and find last week\u2019s newsletter. Or simply head to the BPA website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Podcast Champion <\/strong>award went to the late Dame Deborah James for her bowel cancer campaigning and for the podcast You Me and the Big C<\/strong><\/a>, which she had hosted with Lauren Mahon, Rachael Bland (who also passed in 2018) and Steve Bland. A special episode celebrating the life of Deborah was released earlier this month<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was always intended that the show would have laughter as well as tears,\u201d said podcaster Cariad Lloyd, introducing the award. \u201cThe podcast revealed to us all the deeply personal relationships these three presenters had with their audience. And the reason for that is the willingness to share their stories and their vulnerabilities at one of the hardest points of their life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mahon accepted the award. \u201cTo be here standing without both of my girls, well it is not right is it?\u201d she said on the stage. \u201cI don\u2019t think there are many other podcasts that you can say would be standing up here whose co-hosts are not with them, because they\u2019ve died of the subject matter. But that is why we do what we do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe knew it was a risk when we started it and it is something we will continue to champion. Cancer affects one in two of us in our lifetime so by proxy it will affect all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
