- Bag Man MSNBC (MSNBC)
- Believed Michigan Radio (NPR)
- Buried Truths WABE (WABE)
- Caliphate The New York Times (The New York Times)
- Ear Hustle PRX’s Radiotopia (PRX’s Radiotopia)

- This American Life Episode #657: The Runaways This American Life and ProPublica Inc. (Public Radio Stations, podcast)
- The Daily The New York Times (The New York Times)
Worth noting that eight of these 11 nominations come from public radio, and the remaining three come from media organizations not natively audio (MSNBC and The New York Times twice). Both those media categories have assertively jumped into podcasting with greater top-level influence than commercial radio in the U.S.
