Todd will be working with NMX on this years podcast awards as an advisor and will hold a founders role in the coming years.

Rick Calvert founder of New Media Expo stated the following on the official NMX blog: 

"Yesterday we agreed to purchase the Podcast Awards from the founder and organizer of The Podcast Awards: Todd Cochrane. We cannot express how grateful we are to Todd for having the vision to create the Podcast Awards nearly 10 years ago now. He did this with his own money and huge commitment of his own time. This was also a labor of love for hundreds of podcasters who volunteered their time to listen and review all of the thousands of podcasts that were nominated over the years. Other podcasters like Cliff Ravenscraft, Clinton from Comedy4Cast and others pitched in real dollars to support the Podcast Awards and pay for the trophies."

This year will mark the 10th year of the Podcast awards and will be held on April 14th, 2015 from the Las Vegas convention center.
