MLR Weekly Shortlisted for Sport Podcast Awards 2025

The American Rugby TV Show I edit has been shortlisted in the 2025 Sports Podcast of the Year Awards in the Best Rugby Podcast Category. What makes this such a great achievement is that MLR Weekly is the only American Rugby podcast, focusing on Major League Rugby that has been shortlisted and is going up against more well known rugby podcasts that focus on the more popular leagues in Britain and Ireland.

FILMMAKER OF THE YEAR Award Winner JonnyLewisFilms.com

Last year’s winners included a music video for the Pigeon Detectives (apparently they are still going), a documentary for The Daily Telegraph and promotional film for Ferrari, so I was shocked to be told that I’ve won the top prize from this years awards, which included 16 categories!
