The Podcast Movement Hall of Fame, which was inaugurated in 2015, was resumed at last week’s Podcast Movement Evolutions gathering after a hiatus of a few years. The ceremony was in-person for Los Angeles attendees, and presented virtually for delegates with at-home registrations.

This list of newcomers brings the total roster of honored initiates to 33.

An executive committee decides who goes in, according to a press release: ” The inductees were voted on by the Hall of Fame Induction Committee, which is composed of current Hall of Fame members; Induction Committee Chairperson Rob Greenlee, who is also Vice President of Content and Partnerships at Libsyn; and Induction Committee Vice Chair Mignon Fogarty, who is the creator and host of the Grammar Girl podcast.”
