Best Local Podcast

We’ve heard plenty of sayings about being wise with your money. More elaborated sayings about being financially smart — in the form of podcast episodes — are what draw people to Royal Credit Union’s “Money Donuts” podcast, which takes the honor of Best Local Podcast for the first time. A more elaborate way to travel is the topic of Laura Ericson’s “Type 2 Travel” podcast, which makes a first appearance in this category, at second place. Lots of elaboration on LGBTQ+ topics make up “Small Town, Big Gays with Travis & Chance,” slotted in third. —Luc Anthony
