Jamaica’s premier entertainment podcast, The FIX, continues its reign as a cultural powerhouse with its third consecutive nomination for Podcast of the Year at the upcoming 3rd Annual MECA Awards, slated for February 4, 2025. This prestigious recognition underscores the podcast’s unwavering impact on Caribbean media and its dedication to elevating voices within the region’s entertainment landscape.
The FIX, co-hosted by Orane ‘Naro’ Hart, Javielle ‘Javi’ Morgan and Arianne ‘Ari’ Hammond, has consistently set the gold standard for Caribbean podcasting. With a loyal audience of over 600,000 subscribers across 12 platforms and millions of views annually, the podcast has cemented its place as a staple in the region’s digital media ecosystem. Speaking on this year’s nomination, Hart shared his gratitude and vision for the platform. “We’re feeling elated and thankful to again be recognised as one of the best podcasts around. Congrats to the other nominees, especially the H-Cue Podcast for their first nomination. Above all else, we want to continue to be seen as a platform that elevates and highlights young creatives within the new media space.”
This latest nod follows a remarkable 2024 for The FIX, which saw them dominate analytics platforms like SocialBlade, amassing over 14 million views and maintaining a consistent monthly viewership of over one million. Their 2023 MECA Lifetime Achievement Award further solidified their status as trailblazers in the Caribbean podcasting space. Industry veteran Skatta Burrell has lauded the podcast’s “consistency and calibre of interviews,” while fans and critics alike acknowledge its decade-long legacy of pushing boundaries and delivering riveting content.
The FIX faces notable competition this year, with Let’s Be Honest, Toxic Talks, and first-time nominee H-Cue also vying for the coveted award. While Let’s Be Honest won the title in 2023, The FIX’s unparalleled momentum and industry validation make them the clear frontrunner in 2024.
As voting continues until January 26, 2025, at www.themecaverse.net, the debate surrounding the Podcast of the Year title is sure to intensify. Yet, regardless of the outcome, The FIX’s enduring success demonstrates its vital role in shaping the future of Caribbean media, setting a benchmark for excellence, and inspiring a new generation of content creators.
