Cafe’s Stay Tuned with Preet, People’s Voice Winner for Best Individual Podcast Episode, News & Politics
Cafe and Vox Media Podcast Network’s Stay Tuned with Preet follows former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara as he breaks down legal topics in the news and engages thought leaders in a podcast about power, policy, and justice. In Cafe’s “The Chauvin Prosecutors” episode, Preet Bharara interviews Jerry Blackwell and Steve Schleicher, the two lead prosecutors in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was convicted of murdering George Floyd. Stay Tuned with Preet was also the Webby People’s Voice winner for Best Individual Podcast Episode, News & Politics in 2021.
Vox’s Unexplainable, People’s Voice Winner for Best Individual Podcast Episode, Science & Education
Unexplainable is the Vox science show about everything we don’t know. Host Noam Hassenfeld is joined by an array of experts and Vox reporters each week to look at the most fascinating unanswered questions in science and the mind-bending ways scientists are trying to answer them. “The mysteries of endometriosis” features the voices of people discussing their experiences with this common chronic condition — where tissue similar to what grows inside the uterus grows elsewhere in the body — and why a condition so prevalent and painful is still so unknown.
Congratulations to the creators behind NowThis, Vox’s Unexplainable, and Cafe’s Stay Tuned with Preet, as well as the Vox Media podcasting, video, and social teams that earned 13 Webby nominations and five Webby honors.
