“Zakryv Raund” has been shortlisted for the “Slushno-2025” awards from Megogo in two categories: “Business Podcast” and “Science and Technology Podcast.”
We invite you to participate in the voting, which will run until September 5th, with the results being announced on September 30th. Please note that the audience vote accounts for 50% of the total score, so every vote matters.
“Zakryv raund” is a popular podcast hosted by Illia Kabachynskyi and Anton Polieskov. It explores technology phenomena, investments, and the people behind the most significant industry news.
Guests on the show often share exclusive details, and for many of them, appearing on the podcast is their first experience with a major public interview. Over five seasons, “Zakryv raund” has featured dozens of Ukrainian founders and executives from leading companies, including the head of the Ministry of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov.
In 2024, the podcast team introduced a video format and released a special episode on the life of Kharkiv’s tech cluster during the war. The project is supported by Favbet Tech, a Ukrainian technology company ranked among the top 50 largest IT businesses in Ukraine and a co-initiator of the IT Ukraine Association’s AI Committee.
To vote, simply go to the relevant categories (“Business Podcast,” “Science and Technology Podcast”), select “Zakryv raund” from the shortlists, and then click “Vote.” Please note that according to the rules, you may cast one vote per category.
The “Slushno” awards from Megogo Audio have been celebrating the best Ukrainian-language podcasts for five years. This year, “Slushno” will honour winners across 12 main categories, with a grand prize awarded to one of the finalists by the Megogo team. For the first time, a special award will also be given to the podcast that receives the most audience votes.
This marks the second time “Zakryv raund” has been part of the awards. Last year, the podcast was shortlisted in the “Science and Technology Podcast” category and finished in second place.
