As a result, Katz and cohost PFT Commenter were recently rewarded with a handsome Netflix licensing deal.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, when the Golden Globes purported to honor the Best Podcast of the year with a new award,\u00a0PMT was not so much as nominated. <a href=\"https:\/\/awfulannouncing.com\/podcasts\/bill-simmons-pardon-my-take-short-best-podcast-golden-globes.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">While Katz\u2019s show and\u00a0The Bill Simmons Podcast\u00a0were named to the original shortlist<\/a> for the award, neither got a nom, as the Globes strangely gave sports the cold shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>The winner, ultimately, was\u00a0Good Hang with Amy Poehler, produced and distributed by Spotify.<\/p>\n<p>Discussing the snub for the first time publicly, Katz took a torch to the award and the Globes more broadly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole thing\u2019s a joke,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/UdtaSRHbZDs?si=xTS_ZID55FMyji_a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Katz said this week on Barstool\u2019s House Call podcast<\/a>. \u201cEssentially, podcasts have become big. New Media has kind of eaten into TV shows and movies and stuff. It ate up late night. So now they\u2019re like, \u2018Well, we\u2019re gonna have famous people do podcasts too, and then we\u2019ll give them an award and be like, \u2018Look, we\u2019re podcasters too.\u2019 It\u2019s stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Katz also clarified that after\u00a0PMT was named to the shortlist, the crew chose not to \u201cfill out paper work\u201d in order to officially submit for the award.<\/p>\n<p>Following Poehler\u2019s win, Katz claimed the voting was \u201crigged\u201d in order to bring more Hollywood types into the fold for the annual winter ceremony.\u00a0Good Hang launched earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Katz also mocked the fact that the Globes want to honor podcasting at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo real podcaster should want to win a Golden Globe,\u201d he said. \u201cPodcasting is a joke. It\u2019s a joke profession. It\u2019s not real world. We\u2019re not doing anything that\u2019s like, special. We\u2019re idiots talking to a mic, hopefully entertaining people. Why do you got to get an award for that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, podcasting hardly feels like a joke now, with so many listeners flocking to the medium and content companies spending big to develop shows. Many top comedians, talk show hosts and newscasters have pivoted to podcasting, with some even crediting podcast interviews with swaying the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>But Katz\u2019s observation that the Globes are not seriously poring through top shows to award the best one certainly appears true given the massive omissions among its nominations \u2014 including\u00a0Pardon My Take.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barstool Sports host Dan \u201cBig Cat\u201d Katz is undoubtedly one of the biggest podcasters in the world.
