Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: LIz Beatty Entry Title: Inside Great Lakes Indigenous Culture — Before There Was a Canada/US Border Entry Credit: Liz Beatty Judge Comment: This podcast about the Anishinaabe people of the Great Lakes and their back and forth crossings before borders has all the elements – great story, natural sound, and a feel of BEING THERE. That's what separates the best in this category from other very good entries. When listeners feel like they’ve been there, they leave fulfilled.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: LIz Beatty Entry Title: The Viking Heart of American and Canadian New Icelanders Entry Credit: Liz Beatty Judge Comment: This entry about two towns divided by a border has all the richness listeners search for. Take me there. Let me feel the places. Hear the cash register ring (thank you!) – this is what it means to really leverage the sounds of podcasting/radio.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Scott Gurian Entry Title: Medicine Man Entry Credit: Scott Gurian Judge Comment: Host Scott Gurian follows a traditional medicine man in Peru and captures the ambiance of the character and the place through interviews and the integration of sound and music. The whole is immersive and real and makes this work effectively.
