We need your vote! The Signal Awards are some of the biggest honors for podcasters and Kaboom is a 2024 finalist in three categories! We couldn't have done it without our awesome listeners, so thank you for your support!

The winners are partially based on popular vote, so please vote for Kaboom in all three categories:

• Best Road Trip Podcast: https://vote.signalaward.com/PublicVoting#/2024/shows/general/best-road-trip-podcast

You'll have to create an account, but it only takes a second and it would mean so much to the show to pull off a win or two (or three!).

And if you're new to Kaboom—perhaps the Signal Awards led you here :)—most of our episodes are complete stories told in a single episode, so you can start anywhere! Here are some of our favorite episodes:

• Hunt of the Nydralisk (Season 3 Episode 3): When a dangerous alien creature called a Nydralisk escapes from the space station lab, it’s up to three teenage cadets to stop it after it incapacitates the rest of the crew.

• Test Drive (Season 2 Episode 1): Chloe is not thrilled about the dumpy old minivan her future step-brother shows her on a car shopping trip. But their test drive becomes a wilder adventure when they find out it's secretly a James Bond-style car—and that enemy spies are trying to get it back.

• Quentin Manning: Detective for Justice Episode 1: The first episode in a hilarious and heartfelt series from Kaboom about a boy who decides to become a detective to solve mysteries at his middle school like who is flattening everyone's bike tires and why the school band (literally) stinks so bad.
