I'm speechless... This just arrived in the mail: An award for being named the 2023 People's Choice Podcast Award for Podcasting Influencer of the Year!!! This was a complete surprise because I didn't ask anyone to vote for me, and my name wasn't listed as an option to select; it was manually filled in. After MILLIONS of votes, having my name listed alongside Adam Curry, Dave Jackson, and Joe Rogan is humbling and an honor! THE CREDIT DOESN'T GO TO ME: 1) Alecia, my wife and business partner: Thank you for keeping the engine of what we do running so I can be active in the community! 2) Jesse, my business partner, and developer: Thank you for creating PodMatch and making it so easy for us podcasters to connect! 3) You, the community of podcast hosts and guests: Thank you for voting for me and for allowing me to serve and support you! What an honor and an amazing gift to receive today. Thank you again, everyone! :)

Interested in winning an award for your podcast? I built a list of 31 awards that podcasters can apply for... Happy to share!

@HScoresHStakes Love that you're going to celebrate, so few people do that. Congrats again!!!

@DeviantLounge Very insightful of you to bring that up. :) Thank you for that!

@DeviantLounge Very true! We had to pull those type of series out of the report because it's hard to tell which ones are like that, so if it's more like a "audio series" with a limited run or chapters, we didn't include that

@6packbrands Amen to that!!!
