The Kurupt FM Podkast, featuring the stars of People Just Do Nothing, has won in the Best Comedy category at the British Podcast Awards.
The comedy-related results are as follows:
Best Comedy Podcast
The judges said: "Funny, entertaining, creative and lighthearted, it was easy to laugh at and left us wanting to hear more."
Brian & Roger picked up the Silver award, with Dear Joan And Jericha taking Bronze.
Best Arts & Culture Podcast
Talking about the series hosted by comedy writers Jason Hazeley and Joel Morris, the judges said: "This great use of audio in an original format. Genuinely funny with engaging presentation, this is a podcast that encourages smart accessible conversation about the art of making comedy."
Best Daily Podcast
The awards said: "Dripping in charm, the deadpan delivery elevates this daily podcast to one which should surely be regarded as a must-listen. In a subset of daily podcasts that, when faced with an ever-distorting world force themselves into a position of either editorialising and at worst polemicising, this creator opts-out and is here to create and to entertain - and there can be no virtue more universal than that. We certainly appreciated it."
Spotlight Award
Speaking about Deborah Frances-White's show, the panel said: "Intimate, honest and candid. It's changed the landscape for women podcasters as well as making a really conscious effort to bring under-represented voices to the forefront."
My Dad Wrote A Porno came third in this category.
Listeners' Choice
The awards explain of the relationship-based podcast hosted by Chris Ramsey and Rosie Ramsey: "Chosen by public vote involving over 240,000 podcast listeners, Sh**ged Married Annoyed only launched in spring 2019, and has already amassed a very loyal following."
Elsewhere in the awards, David Walliams' Marvellous Musical Podcast won in the Best Family Podcast category, Y Podlediad Cymraeg Gorau with Elis James won Best Podcast in the Welsh Language, and Something Rhymes With Purple - hosted by Gyles Brandreth and Susie Dent - came top in the Best Entertainment category.
