It was one of four Newstalk nominations on this year’s awards shortlist.

Two pieces - Paul O’Donoghue’s reporting on lack of funding for Ireland’s eating disorder treatment plan and a Pat Kenny Show report on one mother's experience of severe anxiety - made the shortlist in the mental health broadcasting (short form) category.

Meanwhile, Newstalk’s Take a Break was also nominated in the Voice Media Award category.
