About Webby Podcast of the Year
Podcast of the Year recognizes a breakthrough podcast that has made significant strides in the industry, gained a cult following of fans, and get the world to pay attention.
Kylie Kelce launched Not Gonna Lie with a clear intention: to speak on her own terms. The show centers her perspective on motherhood, relationships, women in sports, and the realities of public life — and within days of its debut, it climbed to No. 1 on both Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Apple named it one of the Top New Shows of the Year and among the Most Followed Shows of 2025, underscoring that this was not a novelty launch but a genuine audience shift.
What keeps listeners coming back is not the charts; it is the feeling. Week after week, Kelce invites audiences into conversations that sound like real life: equal parts sharp, self-aware, and disarmingly funny. Whether sitting down with Kelly Clarkson, Paige Bueckers, or trading sibling-style banter with Travis Kelce, big names do not feel like big performances here. They feel like people.
In a year defined by noise, Not Gonna Lie stands out for building trust, bridging sports fans, young parents, and pop culture listeners without trying to be anything other than itself. For her extraordinary debut and her ability to transform lived experience into cultural connection, it is our great privilege to honor Kylie Kelce with the 2026 Webby Podcast of the Year.
