2026 Signal Award Winner!

Public Health is Dead took home two Signal Awards in the 5th Annual Awards competition! This year’s awards were about recognizing the risk-takers doing exciting things in podcasting.

We won Gold in Best Weird Show (who doesn’t want a Gold in Weird??) and Bronze in Best Conversation Starter! Here’s our page in the Winners’ Gallery.

We also got a little mention in Variety’s coverage of the Awards!

Categories
GOLD - Best Weird Show: Shows that are strange, offbeat, or bizarre. This category includes shows that pursue a fresh perspective in thought and action strong enough to start a revolution, change a behaviour pattern, or advance old thinking lodged in bad habits—or that are just plain weird.

BRONZE - Best Conversation Starter Show: Shows that dive into niche or of-the-moment topics, provide fascinating information or otherwise inspire great conversation.

Thank you for listening and supporting the show! You can find the latest episode here.
