Congratulations to the 2026 Award-Winning Podcasts

A Message From
The Signal Awards

I am honored to announce the Winners of the 5th Annual Signal Awards: a cohort of storytellers, reporters, creators and producers who exemplify this year's editorial theme, "recognizing the risk takers." The podcasts shared below were made by people who bent formats and took bets. They tested ideas out loud and let their audiences in on the process. Our medium is richer because of their tenacity.

Jemma Rose Brown,
General Manager
