"Anybody a fan of 19th century philosopher G.W.F. Hegel? No? In his philosophy, he examines the concept of recognition. This is more than simple identification or acknowledgement. Recognition can help the recognized literally become something new. If I recognize you, I'm basically saying "what matters to you matters to me" and that gives you power and confidence and a new kind of existence. "Recognition is important, is all I'm saying. And, in a world where millions of podcasts vie for our attention, we need a way to sift through the field and find the shows that are truly deserving of our recognition. That's why I'm a judge at the Signal Awards. Jemma Rose Brown and co have gathered a stellar pool of judges whose perspectives you can trust. The deadline has been extended, so if you know someone with a truly amazing show, tell them to apply." -- Chioke Ianson, 2024 Signal Awards Juror
