Jazmyn Gives Bad Advice won both Best Black Comedy as well as Relationship Podcast. And for the third year in a row, The Brown Girls Guide to Politics won Best Black Political Podcast.
Charismatic Black podcast producer Latrice Sampson Richards hosted the ceremony and aftershow. Prior winners joined her in presenting awards. Viewers delighted in songs by Aria Lanelle, ire ola, and Jus Jon (from 'The Voice' season 2020).
