‘How Long Gone’ to Host Inaugural Awards Show ‘The Goneies’ in New York (EXCLUSIVE)
Move over, Oscars: There’s a brand new awards show for bicoastal elitists. “How Long Gone,” the cult-famous culture podcast hosted by Chris Black and Jason Stewart, has announced the inaugural edition of “The Goneies,” an intimate awards show taking place on Sept. 15 at Racket NY
The "How Long Gone" podcast, beloved by Venice's culture vanguard, is branching out into live events with "The Goneies," an exclusive awards show set to take place in New York. This move marks a significant milestone for the podcast, which has built a devoted following among bicoastal elitists. By hosting an intimate awards show, Chris Black and Jason Stewart are poised to further solidify their influence within the cultural zeitgeist.
What's notable here is the timing: with the Oscars facing increased scrutiny over diversity and relevance, "The Goneies" may capitalize on growing discontent with traditional awards shows. By catering to a niche audience, Black and Stewart can offer a bespoke experience that resonates with their devoted listeners. As the podcast continues to expand its reach, this live event will likely serve as a testing ground for future projects and collaborations.
As "The Goneies" approaches, all eyes will be on the guest list, categories, and overall tone of the event. Will it maintain the irreverent humor and insider knowledge that defines the "How Long Gone" podcast, or will it adopt a more formal, traditional awards show approach? Keep an eye on the roster of winners and attendees, as well as any potential partnerships or sponsorships, to gauge the event's impact on the cultural landscape and the future of "How Long Gone."
