The Golden Globes first presented a Best Podcast award in 2026, when Good Hang With Amy Poehler won.
The new category reflected the growing influence of podcasts as a major form of entertainment and celebrity conversation. Good Hang With Amy Poehler is hosted by actor and comedian Amy Poehler, who interviews guests in an informal, comedy-focused format.
The award was introduced at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, held on January 11, 2026. It was not a retroactive honor covering earlier ceremonies: 2026 was the category’s inaugural presentation.
The podcast prize is separate from the Golden Globes’ long-established film and television awards. Because the ceremony also included new or expanded entertainment categories, readers may confuse the podcast award with the stand-up comedy performance prize, which went to Ricky Gervais for Mortality.
