The Podcast Academy, a group of 1,000-plus industry creators and executives, awarded Campside Media and Sony Music Entertainment’s Chameleon: Wild Boys with the top honor at this year’s 2023 Ambie Awards.
Wild Boys, which serves as the third season of Campside’s Chameleon series, uncovers the story of two young men who claimed to have been raised in the wilderness in British Columbia and proceeded to fool a small town. The eight-part series was led by Sam Mullins with producer Abukar Adan, senior producer Ashleyanne Krigbaum, editor Karen Duffin and ep Matthew Shaer.
“I had nothing happening in my career. I had two young kids, I was working in a taco restaurant, and I never made a podcast before. And Campside deserves so much credit because I cold-emailed these guys, and they just believed in the story, and they believed in me, and they changed my life, and I’ll never forget it,...

Podcast outfit QCode has hired former Apple Podcasts executive Steve Wilson as the company’s Chief Strategy Officer, overseeing partnerships, marketing, distribution and helping on content strategy.
Wilson joins the firm after nearly 15 years at Apple where he worked across editorial, partner relations, and marketing.
His hiring, something of a coup for QCode, comes on the heels of the company’s recent series A funding which was led by Sonos and co-led by C-Ventures.
Earlier this month, the LA-based venture, which has built a strong line in starry audio dramas with adaptation appeal, named Sandra Yee Ling as Vice President of Production and Michele Zárate as Director of Development and promoted Tess Ryan to the role of producer and Deron Johnson to Head of Music.
“Steve has directly shaped and bolstered the podcast industry over his many years at Apple,” said Rob Herting, CEO and founder of QCode. “We are...
