Allow us, for a moment, to shed our customary gzerovian modesty as we announce that we’ve just won not one, not two, but three Telly Awards for our video content. The jury awarded a bronze for general history to the GZERO World episode “The Autocrat’s Curse,” a silver for general political commentary to the episode “Putin’s Europe Problem,” and a full-on gold (our first!) to the Puppet Regime musical number “Sing Along: The Really Bad People Song,” in the category of “Craft-Use of Comedy.” Craft! That’s some small-batch artisanal comedy right there! Thank you to all our viewers!

The Telly Awards, which honor video and television across all screens, announced its 44th annual winners in New York on May 23, 2023, after receiving over 12,000 entries from all 50 states and five continents.
