Dua Lipa Teases New Podcast

Dua Lipa is an international pop star, and in addition to being an amazing singer, dancer and entertainer, it looks like she's about to showcase her skills as podcast host. She teased, as she revealed the winner for Podcast of the Year, "I've always enjoyed listening to podcasts. They're such an incredible way for people to share their art, express themselves, and build a community in an increasingly chaotic world. And, as you've seen tonight, podcasting is better and bigger than ever. We're reaching new audiences, cultivating new fans, and harnessing new opportunities to take podcasts to even greater heights. Podcasting has given me a new outlet to learn, grow and create a space with my fans, both new and the old. So as someone who can very recently add podcaster to their job title, I'm so proud to be presenting this award tonight."

Will Ferrell Gets The Night Started

Who better to introduce the iHeartRadio Podcast Awards to kick the night off than national treasure Will Ferrell — Ron Burgundy of "The Ron Burgundy Podcast" himself.

Brian Baumgartner Indulges in Self-Care (And Snacks) While Announcing Winners

As King explained, "I'm thankful for the opportunity [Coach Rivera] gave me and I'm just excited for the future," later adding, "I think it's limitless what women can do in sports."
