Podcast Tonight Awards 2026

The podcast Doomsday masterfully blurs the line between a history lesson and a horror story, embarking on a mission to unearth the most traumatic, bizarre, and awe-inspiring yet largely forgotten disasters from across human history. Born from a creative desire to challenge the very notion of what a podcast could be, its initial, almost visceral goal evolved over nearly five years and a million plays into a more profound purpose: to make listeners safer. By meticulously exploring everything from shipwrecks and industrial catastrophes to the science behind every disturbing detail, Doomsday provides more than just shocking tales of flaming oil and flying debris; it offers a unique form of psychological and emotional preparedness, confronting the terrifying realities of the past to better arm us for the future.
