18 Mar 2026
We’re excited to share that APB exclusive speaker Nora McInerny’s podcast, Thanks for Asking, has been named Best Advice/Inspirational Podcast at the prestigious iHeartPodcast Awards—an honor that recognizes the top voices shaping conversations and culture today.
Included in a highly competitive category alongside podcasts hosted by the likes of Michelle Obama and Jay Shetty, Thanks for Asking has long resonated with listeners for its raw, compassionate, and deeply human approach to storytelling. Nora creates space for conversations that often go unspoken—about grief, resilience, relationships, and what it really means to be “okay.” This award is a testament not only to the podcast’s impact but also to Nora’s unique ability to connect with audiences in a way that feels both intimate and universal.
In a crowded podcast landscape, authenticity cuts through. Nora’s work reminds us that vulnerability is powerful and that meaningful connection comes from telling the truth, even when it’s messy. To be recognized at this level, especially among such influential voices, underscores the cultural importance of the conversations she’s leading. Please join us in congratulating Nora and the entire Thanks for Asking team on this well-deserved recognition!
