Chatrealm Podcast Awards

The Chatrealm Podcast Awards were made in response to the complete shitshow known as the Podcast Awards. Members of Chatrealm suggested categories and then nominated shows or people for those categories. In late January of 2013, voting closed and winners were announced.

Roberto Villegas hosted the awards with Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ in a livestream which was later posted to YouTube. During the broadcast, Roberto was a complete dick to Patrick Delahanty and a less-than-gracious winner. (One joke and some light ribbing is one thing, but constant mockery is just plain rude.) In response, Patrick left these passive-aggressive comments on BBpedia.
