The SAPIENS Podcast named finalist at the 16th Annual Shorty Awards
SAPIENS: A Podcast for Everything Human has been named as a 16th Annual Shorty Awards finalist in the Science and Technology Podcast Category.
The Shorty Awards honor the best work in digital and social media by the most creative and influential brands, agencies, organizations, and individuals whose work has excelled in creativity, strategy, and effectiveness.
SAPIENS’s work has demonstrated outstanding performance across the judging criteria, which makes it a top contender for a Shorty Award in a most competitive year. The work is also eligible for competing in the Audience Honor—a separate honor voted by the public between April 16th to April 30th.
“It’s amazing to be among the finalists,” Chip Colwell, SAPIENS’ editor-in-chief said. “There are so many people who contributed to the podcast over the years. It’s wonderful to see them being honored.”
The 16th Annual Shorty Awards winners will be announced at the in-person celebration on May 22, 2024, at Tribeca 360º in New York City.
The winners and honorees are chosen by the Real Time Academy (RTA)—a panel of prominent experts and leaders in digital and social media who have been hand-selected based on their deep industry knowledge, professional reputation, and outstanding achievements, including previous Shorty wins.
Members of the Academy include Michelle Wong (CMO, Sprinkles), Allison Hobbs (Senior Director, Creative Services, Mediabrands Content Studio), Emeka Obia (Integrated Strategy Director, Publicis West Africa), Hital Pandya (Global Group Creative Director, Leo Burnett Chicago), Brittany Rice (Director, Social and Content, FX Networks/Disney), João Inácio (Creative Director, DEPT Agency), Naz Nazli (Creative Director, Creative X, Meta), Laura Mignott (Global Chief Experiential Officer, VML Commerce), among others.
ABOUT SAPIENS: A PODCAST FOR EVERYTHING HUMAN
In January 2016, SAPIENS magazine was launched with a mission to bring anthropology—the study of being human—to the public to make a difference in how people see themselves and everyone around them. The magazine deepens the public’s understanding of the human experience by exploring anthropology’s most exciting, novel, and thought-provoking ideas. Complementing the magazine, SAPIENS: A Podcast for Everything Human presents stories about the human experience through the lens of anthropology. Each season takes a different approach, ranging from in-depth storytelling to interviews, to tackle such topics as DNA and identity, preppers and the apocalypse, dreaming, Denisovans, police violence and the pandemic, and sunken slave ships.
SAPIENS is an editorially independent magazine of the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research and published in partnership with the University of Chicago Press.
