The Golden Globes have added a new category that will focus on the growing world of podcasts. In a post to their X account on March 7, the award show announced that they would be adding the Best Podcast award.

The 2025 Golden Globes, hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser (who will return for the 2026 edition), were widely regarded as a successful return to form for the long-running awards show. The addition of a podcast category signals the organization’s ongoing effort to adapt to shifting audience preferences and embrace emerging formats.
