...and Rob Auton has the best daily show

Alan Partridge and Rob Auton were among the winners at the British Podcast Awards last night.

The third series of Partridge’s From The Oasthouse won the gold award in the comedy category.

Available to Audible subscribers it features Steve Coogan’s character trying to ‘keep hold of his new love, as he navigates how to re-invigorate an increasingly distracted personal assistant, as he vies for one of the most sought-after car-related ambassadorial positions in all of east Anglia, and as he seeks to track down an old Geordie friend long-presumed dead’.

The judges gave the silver award to Jon Holmes’s Radio 4 satirical mash-up programme The Skewer, and bronze to Kathy Burke’s Where There's A Will, There's A Wake.

Also nominated were Educating Daisy starring Daisy May Cooper, Help I Sexed My Boss with William Hanson and Jordan North, James Acaster's Springleaf, The Guilty Feminist with Deborah Francis-White and  Who Replaced Avril Lavigne? - Joanne McNally Investigates.

Help I Sexted My Boss took the Listeners' Choice Award, while The Guilty Feminist took bronze in the entertainment category, won by Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver’s Miss Me? and in which Anna Leong Brophy and Emily Lloyd-Saini’s Terribly Famous took silver.

And The Rob Auton Daily Podcast won gold  in the daily category.

 Marcus Brigstocke hosted last night’s ceremony in London at which the late Michael Mosley took the ‘Hall of Fame' award.
