Making Magic Series Named the Bronze Winner for Best Health and Wellness Podcast in the 3rd Annual Signal Awards

Making Magic: How the Magic Wand Became the World’s Most Famous Vibrator was named a Winner in the 3rd Annual Signal Awards for best Health and Wellness Limited Series.

Created and hosted by sex writer Kate Sloan, Making Magic tells the unique story of a single product that has over the course of 55+ years, quietly challenged the stigma and shame that society has assigned to female pleasure and connects listeners to the stories of people whose lives have been changed by Magic Wand. Making Magic  is broken down into eight episodes and features interviews with over 30 sex experts, sex educators, sex shop owners as well as fans of the brand, including Dr. Carol Queen, Zoe Ligon, Hallie Lieberman, Dr. Laurie Mintz, Lynn Comella, Danielle Bezalel, Lorrae Bradbury, and more. Making Magic is available on all podcast streaming services.

“I’ve been a longtime fan and admirer of the brand and have always been intrigued about Magic Wand’s impact on culture, and how it has shaped how we think about, talk about, and depict sex,” explains Sloan. “I was excited for this project to take a closer look at the brand’s legacy and how it has played a part in the larger conversation and evolution of sex and pleasure as a whole in our society. Recognition from the Signal awards is icing on the cake.”

Winners of the prestigious distinction are selected by the Signal Awards Judging Academy which includes notable on-mic talent such as On Purpose host Jay Shetty, host of The Dream Jane Marie and Dan Taberski host of Hysterical as well as industry leadership including Jonathan Hirsch, VP Global Podcasts at Sony Music, Chris Bannon the SVP, Head of Global Audio at Condé Nast and Jessica Cordova Kramer the CEO & Founder of Lemonada Media.

The Signal Awards set a standard for editorial excellence by honoring content that is shaping the podcast industry, and the storytelling medium.  “Making Magic series made an impression on the Judging Academy,” said Jemma Brown, General Manager of The Signal Awards. “This award is a testament to the skill, ingenuity, and vision of its creators.”
