Podcasts get Snoopy Award? (5)

I believe the answer is:

medal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'award?' is the definition.
(I know that award can be written as medal)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for medal that I've seen before include "Award for distinction" , "Award for winning" , "Piece of metal as award or in commemoration" , "George Cross, for instance" , "Lamed (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
