Congratulation to the following Catholic Podcasts for making the nomination cut at the Podcast Awards.

• Fr. Roderick’s Catholic Insider for People’s Choice
• George Leite’s Catholic Rockers for Podsafe Music
• Under Religious Inspiration is Fr. Roderick’s Catholic Insider, Daily Breakfast. Also up for nomination is Meditations from Carmel and The Hands and Feet Show. This category will be difficult for me to choose from since I listen to all of them. The Hands and Feet show is really excellent and quite fun and of course Fr. Roderick’s Daily Breakfast is one of the best podcasts out there. Might have to flip a coin here.
• PrayStation Portable for Best Mobile Phone Formatted Podcast
• Fr. Roderick’s Healthy Catholic for Health/Fitness.
• SQPN’s Secrets of Harry Potter for Cultural/Arts.

I was sad to see that Greg and Jennifer Willit’s Rosary Army didn’t make it this year, and they did win last year. Their video podcast That Catholic Show is really excellent, but there are some very popular and much more secular video podcasts that would make it quite difficult for them to make the cut. All but one of the Catholic podcasts nominated are part of the Star Quest Production Network which has multiple shows that are all worth listening to.

You can vote each day between July 28 and August 11, 2007 for your favorite shows at www.PodcastAwards.com.
