LiSTNR has earned top honours at the 2024 Australian Football Media Association Awards (AFMA), with Footy Talk – Daily Australian Rules Podcast and the Ben and Harry Podcast both winning their respective categories.
LiSTNR’s Footy Talk was awarded Best Podcast – Football News/Issues/Analysis. Hosted by a rotating panel of AFL legends, including Nick Riewoldt, Abbey Holmes, Leigh Montagna, Heath Shaw, and Dale Thomas, Footy Talk has become the go-to source for AFL fans seeking daily news and expert analysis. Throughout the 2024 AFL season, key breaking news moments have included Nick Riewoldt’s ongoing advocacy for the Tasmanian Devils, Heath Shaw’s defence of Collingwood’s infamous ‘rat pack,’ and Abbey Holmes’ insider insights into the All-Australian selection process.
LiSTNR’s Ben and Harry Podcast, hosted by Carlton forward Harry McKay and Essendon defender Ben McKay, and umpired by The Marty Sheargold Show’s Will Ralston, was named Best Podcast – Football Entertainment. The show’s unique take on footy life, mixed with brotherly banter, has made it a fan favourite. A standout moment of 2024 was the much-anticipated Ben VS Harry episode, where the brothers previewed their first-ever AFL game against each other.
Footy Talk host, Abbey Holmes, said: “The footy world moves fast, and it’s brilliant to keep up with all the action on Footy Talk. We balance hard-hitting analysis with plenty of fun, all led by some of the best minds in the game.”
Ben and Harry Podcast host, Ben McKay, said: “It’s been a massive year for the show, and the team is thrilled to win this award among such great competition. We have loved connecting with Bombers, Blues, and footy fans every week, and we’re excited to take the podcast to the next level next season.”
