<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Golden Globes completely snubbed popular conservative and independent podcasts when nominations were announced on Monday for the newly-created category, Best Podcast.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instead of including some of the most listened-to podcasts in the nation, the organization nominated mostly actors and comedians for the category. Nominees included “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard,” Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy,” “Good Hang with Amy Poehler,” “The Mel Robbins Podcast,” NPR’s “Up First,&#8221; and “SmartLess” hosted by actors Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Notable snubs include “The Joe Rogan Experience,” widely known to be the most popular podcast in the nation and a chart topper across Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. Other huge conservative podcasts left out include “The Ben Shapiro Show” and “The Megyn Kelly Show.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shapiro </span><a href="https://www.goldderby.com/tv/2025/ben-shapiro-interview-golden-globes-best-podcast/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">discussed</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> being one of the 25 eligible podcasts for the nomination during an interview with Gold Derby last month. He said that in order for the country to unify, the other side needs to acknowledge the existence of conservatives.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I do think that it is necessary for people to sit at the same table and at least acknowledge that we&#8217;re all Americans together. Because if we can&#8217;t even do that, it&#8217;s going to be very difficult to have a country together,&#8221; he told the outlet.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Daily Wire host also noted how it was “really, really important” for podcasts to be recognized as a medium.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Per the Golden Globes, the goal of the new award is to celebrate excellence in podcasting by recognizing their &#8220;quality, creativity, audience engagement, and impact.” Besides shutting out every conservative and independent podcast, the organization did not nominate any true crime shows, and kept the far-Left podcast “Pod Save America” off the list as well.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The company said it would use &#8220;proprietary methodology designed to objectively evaluate podcasts,&#8221; based on metrics including audience reach/engagement, financial metrics, and platform visibility/market presence.</span></p>
