We are delighted to congratulate author, speaker, and podcast host Dan Cohen on receiving a 2026 People’s Telly Award for an episode of his podcast, Awakenings In Real Life.
Dan has dedicated much of his work to exploring the extraordinary experiences that can emerge during some of life’s most challenging moments. Through both his writing and his podcast, he creates space for meaningful conversations about healing, consciousness, personal transformation, and the remarkable stories that often exist just beyond conventional understanding.
The award-winning episode, Awakening from Dementia, is one example of Dan’s commitment to sharing authentic human experiences with compassion, curiosity, and respect. As host of Awakenings In Real Life, Dan interviews guests from a wide range of backgrounds, inviting them to share stories that challenge assumptions, inspire reflection, and encourage deeper conversations about what it means to be human.
The People’s Telly Awards recognize content that resonates strongly with audiences, making this honor particularly meaningful. It reflects not only the quality of the production itself but also the connection Dan has built with listeners who continue to engage with the stories and perspectives featured on the podcast. Check out one of the winning episodes:
We extend our sincere congratulations to Dan Cohen on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to seeing where his work takes him next. Awards are wonderful milestones, but the lasting impact comes from the conversations they inspire, and Dan’s work continues to spark those conversations every day. His passion for storytelling and his willingness to explore complex and often deeply personal subjects have made him a compelling voice in both publishing and podcasting.
