Dax Shepard and Monica Padman, hosts of Wondery podcast 'Armchair Expert,' were honored Thursday with Variety's Creative Impact in Podcasting award.

Podcasting can be a “liberating” medium to work in for creatives with a sense of adventure and a willingness to lay themselves on the line in the service of good conversation. The private event was held Thursday night at Funke restaurant in Beverly Hills during the Variety Shaping Culture with Podcast, presented by Wondery dinner. In July, Shepard and Padman inked an $80 million deal with Wondery to move the show’s home base to the Amazon-owned podcast platform after several years with Spotify.
