Nolan Investigates is to get a number of nominations in the UK's ARIAS radio and podcast awards tonight. However, the podcast contains openly transphobic material according to 166 audio professionals who privately wrote to the Radio Academy, the awards organisers, expressing their concern last month. The group released a public statement today asking that the Academy reconsiders its position; the Radio Academy has issued Podnews this response, clarifying the judging process and its policy towards diversity and representation. The investigative podcast, produced for BBC Radio Ulster by a BBC journalist, has been championed by anti-trans campaigners, and led to the BBC removing diversity schemes after impartiality concerns. The BBC is one of the Radio Academy's patrons.
