Radio 4’s satirical audio mash-up show The Skewer has been named best comedy at the British Podcast awards.

The news comes as a tenth series of the programme, produced by Jon Holmes, prepares to launch on October 11.

Elis James and John Robins won the gold award for best entertainment show for their BBC Radio 5 show. 

James tweeted: 'No speeches this year, so rest assured had I been able to speak I would have shouted ‘JUSTICE’ into the mic ten times before doing those arms Liam did at Knebworth.’
