Hosted by HT Smartcast and Fever Live, the awards were more than just a celebration — they were a vibe. With over 200 nominees across 30+ categories, the event was buzzing with creators, storytellers, celebs, and fans of all things spoken and streamed. Whether it was true crime or mental wellness, comedy banter or deep dives into desi culture, every genre found its moment in the spotlight — and its voice.
The red carpet felt like a crossover episode of “Podcast Royalty Meets Bollywood Chic.” Prajakta Koli glowed with digital-era confidence, while Karishma Tanna looked like she walked straight out of a fashion-forward radio wave. Rhea Chakraborty made a confident appearance, adding depth and grace, while Debina and Gauahar gave us elegance with a side of sass. If podcasts are about presence, these women brought it — no mic required.
At its heart, Podmasters was more than glitz — it was a love letter to creators who’ve turned voice into an art form. And as awards were handed out and selfies snapped, it was clear: podcasts are no longer a niche. They’re now pop culture staples, and India’s audio icons have officially gone prime-time. Move over influencers — the podcasters are here, and they’ve got something to say (loudly, and in Dolby surround).
