The latest from our daily newsletter at podnews.net with Red Circle. In the UK, Audio and Radio Industry Awards, the Arias announced their 2025 winners. The awards are mostly for radio stations, but gold winners include the podcast Dead River from Audio Always for Best Commercial Partnerships. And the inaugural UK Audio Brand of the Year 2025 went to podcast company Girlhanger, which produces, among many others, The Rest is Politics.

The YouTube series will complement it by exploring sound in ways that have never been seen before. And Acast launched Talent Voiced Ads.
