The winning episode, titled “Welcome to the (Thera)gun Show,” features Theragun founder Dr. Jason Wersland as a guest, and provides a fascinating window into the origin and impact of modern recovery tools in health and fitness.
The Marcom Award recognizes outstanding achievement by creative professionals involved in the concept, direction, design, production and marketing of communication materials and programs. This year, there were over 6,000 entries throughout the United States, Canada and 43 other countries.
“Our podcasts are a great opportunity to showcase our content to millions of people around the world,” said Laurie McCartney, President of NASM. “I am very proud to see our Master Instructors, Wendy Batts and Marty Miller, and our entire podcast production team recognized for their hard work and dedication to the mission of helping people live healthier and happier lives.”
