Amanda Smith · 2026-11-01

### The Win That Caught Everyone's Attention Holly Randall Productions just took home 'Adult Podcast of the Year' at the 2026 FapHouse Awards. The fan-voted competition celebrates the creators, performers, and producers who keep adult entertainment moving forward. And this year, the fans made their voices loud and clear. The award honors *Holly Randall Unfiltered*, Randall's long-running interview series. If you've been following the show, this probably feels like a well-earned nod. If you haven't, well—keep reading. ### What Makes the Show Different Launched back in 2017, *Holly Randall Unfiltered* has grown into one of the most recognizable podcasts in the industry. We're talking more than 400 episodes at this point. That's a lot of conversations. The guest list reads like a who's-who of adult entertainment: performers, creators, educators, and industry personalities. Randall gives them room to share their real experiences—career highs, career lows, and honest takes on an industry she's spent decades working in. > "I started this podcast because I was tired of hearing people talk about our industry without actually listening to the people in it." — Holly Randall That quote says a lot about why the show resonates. It's not about spectacle. It's about actually hearing from the people who live and breathe this work every day. ### The Numbers Behind the Recognition It's worth pausing on what 400-plus episodes really means. That's roughly eight years of weekly conversations. Consistency like that builds trust—both with guests and with listeners. - More than 400 episodes since launching in 2017 - Nearly a decade of long-form, candid interviews - Fan-voted recognition at the 2026 FapHouse Awards - Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Pleasure Podcasts There's also a video edition of the show on Randall's YouTube channel, so you can watch the conversations unfold if audio isn't your thing. The winning episode is sponsored by SC World. ### A Career Built Behind the Camera Randall's story didn't start with a microphone. Born in Hollywood, California, to legendary photographer Suze Randall—one of the industry's first female photographers and filmmakers—she grew up behind the camera. She studied at Brooks Institute of Photography before joining the family business. In 2004, she started producing and directing films for Suze.net. By 2008, she'd launched her own studio, Holly Randall Productions. In 2025, the studio's *Broken Butterfly: The Perfect Shade of Blu* earned AVN Awards for 'Best Featurette' and 'Best Screenplay – Featurette,' plus an XBIZ XMA Award for 'Best Featurette.' That's a serious run. ### Beyond the Podcast Randall has worked with nearly every major brand in the adult industry—Penthouse, Hustler, Adam & Eve, Twistys, Brazzers. She hosted Playboy TV's *Adult Film School* and the Digital Playground competition *DP Star*. She's published photography books through GOLIATH and appeared in documentaries like Netflix's *Hot Girls Wanted* and Vice TV's *Before the Internet*. Most recently, she founded the Holly Randall Agency, a marketing and strategy firm for creators and adult brands. She also launched *Wet Ink Magazine*, a creator-driven publication focused on ownership, culture, and editorial storytelling. ### Why This Award Matters Fan-voted awards hit differently. They're not decided by a panel or a committee—they come from the people who actually press play every week. For a show built on listening to industry voices, that feels fitting. Randall put it simply: "To have fans vote for us is such a great feeling. It means the world to me." After nearly a decade and hundreds of conversations, the mic is still on—and people are still listening.
