Launched something new and slightly terrifying today.
It’s called Recognized and it’s about awards, credibility, and the systems behind recognition.
Would love to have you along:

The differences among podcast award categories are not cosmetic.
Each says something different about the work or individuals it recognizes.

Treating them as interchangeable is one of the most common mistakes creators make when building an awards strategy.

Is there still room to build a niche Techmeme in 2026?
Techmeme has been around for 20 years and it still works. One topic, one aggregation layer, clean signal on what matters.
I'm thinking about doing something similar for a specific vertical I'm already deep in.

But I also think there's something valuable about a curated, opinionated aggregator with editorial judgment baked in, especially in a space where most people don't know which sources to trust or follow.

So I'm curious what people here think. Is the niche aggregator a viable thing to build right now, or has the distribution landscape shifted too much to make it worth the effort? And if you have built something like this, what does monetization actually look like?

Podcast awards aren’t one game. They’re dozens of completely different games.
Most creators waste time money entering the wrong ones.
So I built a full taxonomy breaking down what every major podcast award type.

Before you submit to another podcast award, read this.
A clear taxonomy of every major type of recognition in podcasting, what each one actually measures and what winning really means.
Essential reading for creators and producers:

Not all podcast awards are created equal.
Some measure quality. Some measure scale. Some are just popularity contests.
This taxonomy breaks down every major type, so you finally know what you’re actually submitting to.

Using your kids for internet clout doesn't make you a good parent.
It makes you a bad one.
Kids aren't accessories for your attention addiction.

I was recently quoted in @Forbes for my analysis on the rewatch podcast space, where I outlined the four distinct niches that often get lumped together, and noted that virtually no major podcast awards currently have a dedicated rewatch or recap category.
