The Podcast Global Wave Ondas Awards, the great night of the sector, landed on Wednesday night at the Fernán Gómez Theater in Madrid, with a ceremony – which has been able to continue live on the websites of the main media of the Prisa Group – vindictive and full of comedy. And with this there are already four deliveries of some awards, organized by Puris Audio, the country and the SER chain, born to celebrate the best of a boiling sector that does not stop growing.
This year, the ceremony traveled with the help of its two presenters – and a nice voice in off—, Samantha Hudson and Nerea Pérez de las Heras, winner of last year, along with Inés Hernand, for her podcast conversational We will go out better. The two are everything but conventional, they know and demonstrated it from the beginning. Hall started, Hudson took the stage and released to sing an acoustic version of I am a gnome. He interrupted her quickly from Las Heras: “Samantha, no. We are going to start with a conventional start that we already have enough factory dissent.” And with that hooligan humor they followed throughout the gala “a trans and a disabled”, joked Hudson, with the script of Laura Márquez.
One of his slogans was for the night to travel fast. “To do this short, we are going to give prizes to dead people, without family or friends,” said Hudson. But what they did to expedite the thing was to limit the time of the thanks to 90 seconds and “pitfar” the voice of those who exceeded time. Who thought that the warning that the duo did at the beginning was one of his jokes, he was wrong. More than an undisciplined awarded suffered the effects of a ridiculously sharpened sound when spending time.
The presenters themselves delivered the first awards, the best podcast in the co -official language of the state included, to Borja, from Valencia to the Vaticanwith a nod to the president of the Community of Madrid. “Ayuso, amoreif you have not left, it is time to leave, ”said De las Heras.“ Visca El Valencià and Long live the Republic! ”, The creator of the program complemented upon receiving the already famous winged horse.
Bothering the president or not, in Fernán Gómez there was Valencian, Basque, Catalan and even Arab, Pack one bag, he podcast American winner in the category of foreign language: “The extremisms of the current government do not reflect our opinions. We believe that the best way to fight against the return of fascism is through love and art,” they said. The winners of the award for the best podcast non -fiction narrative, Smoke: Murder and Silence in El Salvadorwhich tells the assert of fascism in the Latin American country, they also had words for the situation of their country. “This is a reminder of the voices that Bukele’s dictatorship has already silenced, but they still do echo,” they said.
The best prize Video -toolcast It was for Tailor and Maldonadowho received him, along with his team, making a snake with his arms. “We are another demonstration that radio and podcast We can live together and make each other better. Long live the radio and live the podcast”Sastre said. Then the two, without getting off the stage, delivered the major award, the best podcast of the year, a The ruinWho also took the waves last year. Live engraving, it is a space that revolves in Spain, in which they take a guest to tell “their ruin” and incidentally take the stage to three people from the public to do the same. They gave them the waves last year and, like a kind of penance, they did it again now: “Don’t tell me that they are those of The ruin. I revive them, ”Maldonado joked.
The Revelation Prize was collected by former Aequo Between the sky and the cloudspresented by and Zero milligramswith Santi Talledo.

The music, good preamble for the party that came later, Xoel López and Ángeles Toledano put it, with Formal and a felt version of How nice that night, of the Greece, respectively. Before the glasses, the two presenters ended everything with what Hudson could not enjoy at the beginning: singing I am a gnome to duo. Luckily for the 700 attendees, it did not last too long. Outside I expected better music.
