At the 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards held on January 11, 2026, Snoop Dogg took to the stage at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills to present the first-ever Golden Globe Award for Best Podcast, a newly introduced category meant to honour excellence in podcasting. Snoop, known for his celebrated music career, brought his signature style to the ceremony and received a standing ovation from the audience before announcing the winner. During his presentation, he joked about the significance of the category and his own connection to audio entertainment.
Amy Poehler won the inaugural Best Podcast award for her show Good Hang with Amy Poehler, which debuted in 2025 and quickly rose in popularity. The podcast’s victory marked a notable moment at the Globes as it beat out other prominent nominees including Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, Call Her Daddy, SmartLess — co-hosted by Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes — The Mel Robbins Podcast, and NPR’s Up First.
During her acceptance speech, Poehler acknowledged the significance of the award and made light of her surprise, expressing that the moment felt exactly as she had imagined it with Snoop Dogg presenting. She spoke about her respect for the podcast medium and thanked her competitors, the team behind her podcast, and supporters. Poehler also gave shoutouts to her family, including her two sons and her boyfriend, Joel Lovell, who attended the ceremony with her.
The introduction of the Best Podcast category at the Golden Globes reflects the growing influence of podcasts in the wider media landscape, and Poehler’s win highlights the cultural impact of Good Hang, which combines casual conversation with celebrity guests and a lighthearted approach to audio storytelling.
