Hoehne added that "by celebrating achievements in both audio and visual podcasts, we aim to honour our heritage categories while making room for new voices and formats to be heard". According to the release, only the "top 25 podcasts" will qualify for the award and the category will include a total of six nominees. A representative for the Golden Globes confirmed to CNN that narrative, video, interview and news-based podcasts will be eligible. The Golden Globes will announce more eligibility criteria in the coming weeks. Comedian Nikki Glaser is set to emcee the glitzy awards ceremony in 2026, marking her second time serving as the show's host after her debut earlier this year. In March, Glaser said that hosting "was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career. I can't wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from The White Lotus who will finally recognise my talent and cast me in season four as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past." entertainment

Perth marine biologist debuts surf brand on US runway
A Perth shark biologist is adding a splash of colour to swimwear. Amanda Elizabeth's Bolde Wetsuits were paraded on the catwalk at Miami Swim Week recently, with her two collections drawing inspiration from the ocean's vibrant colours. 'We live on such an incredibly diverse coastline — there is never any shortage of inspiration,' Elizabeth said. 'Sharing a piece of Perth with an American audience is not just about geography — it's about showcasing the natural beauty of our marine environment and wildlife through my designs.' She said she had got fed up wearing boring black wetsuits that made divers look like a seal to predators, so set about designing something a bit more exciting from eco-friendly Japanese limestone neoprene. Bolde made its debut in Miami.

Since Bolde made its debut in Miami, Elizabeth has received supportive feedback about how her pieces have made women feel more comfortable, powerful and confident. 'That kind of reaction is exactly why I do what I do. It is so important to me that women know there is a wetsuit that is specifically for them,' she said.

Bolde has recently expanded the brand's size range to include sizes 6-20. The range includes 3mm and 5mm steamers, bikini-cut and short-leg spring suits, wetsuit jackets, and accessories like silicone snorkel sets and fins.

Kayla Radomski confirms engagement to Jason Segel
Jason Segel is engaged to Kayla Radomski. The 45-year-old actor recently popped the question to the 34-year-old actress, with Kayla sharing the news of their engagement via her Instagram account. Alongside a carousel of shots of the romantic proposal, Kayla wrote on the photo-sharing platform: "FOREVER YES [ring and heart emojis] (sic)" In the photos, Jason is seen getting down on one knee to propose, with Kayla covering her face in shock. In another photo, the actress is seen looking at her sparkling engagement ring with a big smile on her face. The loved-up couple - who began dating in 2023 - are also photographed sharing a passionate kiss, after Kayla accepted Jason's proposal. Kayla was also recently spotted in Los Angeles with an engagement ring on her finger. Jason and Kayla made their red carpet debut at the Golden Globes in 2024, when the actor was nominated for his performance in Shrinking, the comedy-drama series that he co-created with Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein. Kayla actually took to social media to lavish praise on Jason after he received his nomination. She wrote on Instagram at the time: "I am so incredibly proud of you!!!! What a dream. You are absolutely one of the hardest working and most deserving humans on this planet. My Golden Globe Nominee! I love that we got to spend a whole day celebrating YOU and your talent!!! I love you so much baby! (sic)" In another social media post, Kayla hailed the How I Met Your Mother actor as her "dream" man. Kayla - who is a former back-up dancer for Taylor Swift - said: "I cannot wait to continue to watch you thrive and create more magic throughout your life. Thank you for loving me and being the best man this lady could dream up. I love you." Despite this, the celebrity duo have made a concerted effort to keep their romance out of the spotlight, with pair only occasionally posting photos of themselves on social media.

The world's top 10 most liveable cities ranked
10 of 11 Attribution: Getty Images/iStockphoto After three years at the top of the list, Vienna dropped to joint second place after losing points in the stability category. Although the Austrian city scored well in most categories, its score in the stability category fell significantly. The sharp decline in Vienna's stability score was attributed to recent incidents, including a bomb threat at a Taylor Swift concert last summer, which led to the event being canceled. "Global liveability has remained flat over the past year, and as in 2024, scores for stability have declined at a global level," EIU deputy industry director Barsali Bhattacharyya said. "Pressure on stability has led Vienna to lose its position as the most liveable city after a three-year stint."
