We’re award-winning!

This is your permission slip to pour a little cheeky something! Grab a sexy glass of red or something that’ll clink. It’ll come as no surprise that we’re obsessed with brilliant audio here at FTV HQ, so to celebrate THREE wins in the audio space this week is definitely reason to do a happy dance!

Our Co-Founder, Siân, became a multi-award-winning producer with her podcast, Cold Tapes, winning Best Fiction at the British Podcast Awards and the Independent Podcast Awards 2025. It was also given the high commendation as runner up to Podcast of the Year! Wowee! *clink*

If you haven’t listened to Siân’s murder mystery podcast Cold Tapes yet, be warned: it’ll become your next listening obsession. 

“As I begin to make my way through the ‘found’ tapes, I find myself wanting to scribble down clues in a tiny policeman’s notebook. The victim’s finger appears to be fractured, there’s an untranslated tattoo written in Chinese script on the victim’s body, an inkling of a love triangle between crew mates…I’m in.” – Podbible

Siân cast, produced, and directed Cold Tapes, which has a mammoth cast of 31 exceptionally talented actors (some of which have found their way onto our roster!). DCI Tessa McAllister, played by Foxy talent Polly Frame, truly wows with her embodiment of the detective who’ll stop at nothing to figure out who killed Drew?

And what about the third win? We hear you ask. Our talented voice artist Elliot Fitzpatrick also took home Gold at the Independent Podcast Awards this week. If you’re a film and TV buff, you will LOVE his podcast That’s Not How It Went Down, which uncovers the truth behind films “based on real events”. Happy listening!

What wins are you celebrating this week?
