"Winners from last year's GOLDEN CRANES continued to use their shows to, in some cases, raise awareness and create social impact, from across the globe," Uehara said. "We look forward to boosting showrunners and to showcasing the work of podcasters everywhere this year, too."

"We are still the only awards show which acknowledges podcasters who are of student age," Uehara mentioned. "Podcasting is one of the few content creation vehicles where there is no age limit, and we're always glad to encourage our younger colleagues."

Winners of the Golden Cranes will be announced in a black-tie, live, virtual ceremony on December 21st. Students: $15 with proof of matriculation; AAP members, $25; non-members: $50. Joining AAP is free, for now.  The Asian American Podcasters Association is a non-profit organization.
