Tuesay night saw the movers and shakers in the podcastosphere receive the recognition they deserved. From all corners of the globe they came, they cast their pods (huh?), and they shared every manner of story with the world.
I “spent” around an hour “at” the gala celebration “at” the “BBC’s” iconic Radio Theater, and I didn’t even need to board a plane. Yes, through the magic of radio waves and other sorts of technology I don’t understand, I was able to “attend” the ceremony where “Parky Conversations” my freshman entry into a world (podcasting) I knew little about, had a one in fiifteen shot at taking home the gold in the category Moment of Factual Clarity. Gold what? Statuette? Plaque? Bullion? I’m still in the dark about what I might have won. And guess what!
I didn’r win.
The honor in my category went to The Lost Women of Science: The Devil in the Details recounting the sale of the birth-defect-inducing drug thalidomide in the United States. It’s informative, fascinating, and a worthy winner.
In case you missed my entry, it’s called Joy Milne’s Fantastic Sense of Smell, and it’s about a woman who can detect Parkinson’s Disease by the way people smell. Truly fascinating.
And as they say in Hollywood, it was an honor just to be nominated. And that’s (mostly) the truth!
Happy summer one and all!

I’m sure the winner was quite worthy, but your entry was equally worthy. Anonymous & uninformed sources who have no inside info have told me Pres. Trump believes that the vote was rigged and that this was “a shameful day in podcasting award history.” Those sources also say if you are willing to provide millions of dollars in support (not sure what that support would consist of) to Pres. Trump, he will declare the voting null and void and declare you the winner. If you provide BILLIONS of dollars, you will also b appointed Ambassador to a foreign country (hopefully not Iran) and also become Donald Trump Jr.’s latest fiancee
