The British Podcast Awards<\/strong><\/a>, the biggest day in British Podcasting, is just around the corner. Whilst the awards, which are powered by PodPod, are now closed to new entrants and are currently being whittled down their team of independent judges, there\u2019s one big award that is yet to be decided – the coveted Listeners\u2019 Choice Award<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is the only award where the winner is entirely chosen by the British listening public (that\u2019s you!) Last year, more than 220,000 individuals put forward their favourite, with the winning podcast being true crime series RedHanded<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>for the *second* year in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This award is a real opportunity for fans of a podcast to show their appreciation and help their favourite podcast gain further recognition, so if there is a podcast that you believe deserves more attention, now is the chance. All you need to do is head to the British Podcast Awards<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>website and type in your recommendation. That\u2019s it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Little T&Cs: The podcast must have been available by the 1st June 2023 and must be available to search through Apple Podcasts. You have until the 5th September to enter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n NOTABLE NAMES ON PODCASTS THIS WEEK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have listened to a great guest on a podcast, let us know by filling in <\/strong>this form<\/strong><\/a> and it might get featured in an upcoming newsletter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are our podcast picks for the week ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want your podcast featured, or you have an excellent recommendation, all you need to do is fill in this <\/strong>simple form<\/strong><\/a>.

After years working in television, Moore was offered a job as a spy. \u201cNot for MI5 or the CIA, but for one of the biggest players in the corporate world: a private detective agency,\u201d says host Ceri Thomas. \u201cA lot of what these people are above board but some of it is real spying, deceitful and underhand stuff, sometimes illegal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re thrown into the world of double agents, undercover work, deception and whistleblowing. Who is telling the truth, and why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
