\n\t\u201cPodcasting is no longer defined by a single format, platform or approach to storytelling and this year\u2019s submissions make that evolution impossible to ignore,\u201d said Jemma Brown, GM of The Signal Awards, in a statement. \u201cCharts and download counts can only tell us what\u2019s popular. At Signal, our role is to notice the creative risks that are quietly changing what everyone else makes next. This year\u2019s winners offer a first look at podcasting\u2019s next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n
