The show gives failure the same space as success and draws genuine lessons from both, and that consistency across hundreds of episodes is what earned it the category win."

FatRank Podcast stood out for the candour of its format, the range of its guests and the host's willingness to put his setbacks on the record, according to the page. Episodes discuss failed campaigns, poor decisions and costly misjudgements as well as wins. The page says the panel found the show's consistency across a large and growing archive most persuasive.
