The inaugural All-Ireland Podcast Awards took place at the Woodlands Hotel, Adare, Co Limerick, last week, held as part of the new Sound.Waves conference. The awards sought to recognise “the immense talent, innovation, and storytelling impact of audio creators across the island”. Here’s a run through some of the winners.

The Real Carrie Jade took home the true crime prize, Where is Jón? claimed the runners-up spot, with Stolen Sister commended. All three are made by the RTÉ Documentary on One team, cementing their reputation as the standout powerhouse of the genre.
