The Astra Podcast Awards, presented by the Hollywood Creative Alliance, return for their second year on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, in Los Angeles. Sixteen in-competition categories span Beauty, Books, Celebrity, Comedy, Fashion, Film, Game, Health & Wellness, Parenting, Pop Culture, Science, Scripted, Sports, Topical News, True Crime, and Television.
The timeline is compressed: submissions closed September 28 (fees ran $150–$250 per entry per category), NomCom voting runs October 5–11, nominations are revealed October 14 at 9am PT / 12pm ET, and final voting runs October 16–19. The ceremony venue is still to be announced — it will be revealed alongside the nominations — and a recorded stream is slated for October 30.
For independent podcasters, the Astras offer a mainstream-awards stage voted on by the Alliance's membership of critics, entertainment journalists, and industry creatives. Creators considering next year's cycle should watch the October 14 nominations to gauge which categories are most competitive.
Who it is for
Podcast creators, producers, networks, and industry professionals.
