- As widely predicted, Amy Poehler's Good Hang won the Best Podcast at the Golden Globes. Given the prize by Snoop Dogg, in her acceptance speech she said that her podcast was "an attempt to make a very rough and unkind world fill with a little more love and laughter - and laughing with people, not at them". It's the first time that the Golden Globes have had a podcast category; there were six nominees and a little controversy, with some suggesting the awards don't understand the industry. Good Hang only launched in March 2025; in an interview, Poehler said she was a fan of the medium of podcasting and a huge listener.
- Spotify Global Head of Podcasts Roman Wasenmüller told Podnews: “Good Hang with Amy Poehler winning Best Podcast at the Golden Globes is a powerful validation of what we’ve long believed—that podcasts are one of the most impactful and culturally relevant forms of storytelling today. Amy, with her team and The Ringer, have created something truly special, and this recognition celebrates the creativity, heart, and ambition behind their work. To see a podcast honored on this global stage is not only a win for Good Hang, but a defining moment for podcasting and Spotify.”
- SiriusXM had three of the six nominees, and hosted a pre-Golden Globes brunch at a restaurant in Los Angeles.
- Nikki Glaser, the host of the Golden Globes, also ran a comedy bit making fun of podcasts, including skipping ads and "vulnerable moments hijacked by inappropriate ad copy".
- Netflix launched "podcasting" on its service, with The Bill Simmons Podcast. It posted a video promoting upcoming shows from Spotify Studios, The Ringer, iHeartMedia and Barstool Sports, on a social media site. The Bill Simmons Podcast has 257,000 subscribers on YouTube and each episode got around 100,000 views; but will no longer be available on YouTube as a result of the deal. Podcasts are only available on Netflix in the US, so international viewers are now out of luck.
