Still Unapologetic Podcast

Monthly format

1. Open nominations at the beginning of the month.
2. Feature brief nominee spotlights during the month. On the show, those updates run about 2–3 minutes.
3. Review submissions with the published criteria.
4. Reveal the King of the South and Queen of the South in the final episode of the month. That reveal can run about 6–8 minutes.
5. Give each winner a short interview, a feature on this page, and a shareable recognition card.

The producer places the segment after Culture on the Line and before Last Word. Culture on the Line remains the artist competition. This segment does not replace it.
