More than 30 Latin American creators are betting on the podcast format

Jan 18, 2021

More than 30 Latin American creators are betting on podcasts to tell their new stories, whether fiction or non-fiction, a format that will not take long to become one of the main formats in the audio content market. Our goal is to become the go-to app for listening to all types of audio content in Spanish related to the spoken word: podcasts, audiobooks, audio series, sound fiction, audio versions of literary festivals (such as the FILBA or the Hay Festival), audio recordings of press articles and magazine reports, among other audio content.


Experts in all kinds of subjects, journalists, writers, celebrities, and influencers have seen that podcasts allow them to connect directly with their audiences in a very dynamic and entertaining way. From Mexico, among many others, the acclaimed sports commentator Alberto Lati will take us to the most important stadiums in the world in a football safari. Likewise, we will find ourselves with the prestigious journalists Sandra Romandía and Rossana Fuentes Berain, who will guide us through one of the most comprehensive investigations ever done on the phenomenon of the murdered women of Juárez, Forgotten. The writer and journalist Alberto Tavira takes a foray into the world of podcasts with Podimo to share exclusively the secrets of the great power dynasties.

Also from Mexico, we are joined by Pamela Cerdeira with Extraordinary Latin America, a podcast that allows us to discover Latin American characters who are already establishing themselves as great agents of change, as well as writers of the caliber of Antonio Ortuño, Francisco Payo, and Diego Petersen, whose pens will give voice to the fiction podcasts with which we at Podimo begin our journey in Latin America. Additionally, the program Co-Nexión, hosted by Sissi Cancino, will be launched exclusively, addressing an urgent topic in these times: the use and consumption of technology among children.

It is worth mentioning Elena Bazán, a writer and entrepreneur, who in Central Home Office will share with the audience the best tips for surviving –and enjoying!– working from home within the framework of a constantly changing reality. To close with a flourish, we will also have access to the work of journalist Alejandro Almazán, who exclusively for Podimo will reconstruct one of the most chilling criminal episodes in recent years.


From Argentina, powerful voices are also being added to Podimo's catalog that will give a lot to talk about. Let’s mention, as a starting point, The Ball Isn't Stained, a podcast by Lalo Zanoni about the life, nothing more and nothing less, than that of Diego Armando Maradona. In Andes, Aldana Cal and Carla Maliandi will take us to explore nothing more and nothing less than the Andes mountains to tell us the stories of the great women whose lives are intertwined with the mountains; while in White Fever, Agustina Larrea and Tomás Balmaceda will take us deep into Antarctica, the most strange and inhospitable region on the planet: the one we know the least about, and the one that holds the most secrets.

The author Bibiana Ricciardi doesn’t leave anything out in Cannibals, which collects the most chilling stories of the most infamous cannibal killers on the continent. In The Tide, we attend the story of the “Not One Less” movement, written and narrated by its protagonists, Paula Rodríguez, Ingrid Beck, and Florencia Alcaraz. In The Second Goes, the renowned journalist Ronnie Arias offers us a delightful cycle of interviews; and in Bolívar, the writer and journalist Florencia Canale gifts us an unpublished portrait of the great hero of the continent. Carolina Bugnone and Melisa Fernández offer us a parodic satire of the typical therapeutic help podcast in Chechu Helps You.


In Today Late Night presents: Killed a Thousand, Fiorella Sargenti and Santiago Calori will give us goosebumps with the recounting of several gruesome crimes. Finally, on Podimo we will exclusively have a series of “short-pods” with 45 episodes of General Interest, where Juan Beli allows us to learn something new in five minutes in a fun and super original way. Eduardo Sacheri will finally allow us to get to know the professor behind the writer and will take us to discover the other side of Argentine history.

To the Mexican and Argentine voices are added Renato Cisneros and Gustavo Rodríguez from Peru, and the renowned podcaster and influencer Dani3Palacios from Colombia who will contribute an exclusive season where he will uncover the twelve most terrifying serial killers in Latin America with real and chilling stories of cases that have marked these events in the region. From Chile, and with Emisor Podcasting, Podimo users will have access to Erased, an extraordinary science fiction series that reveals what the real threat and currency of change will be in the near future. Also from Chile, José Ignacio “Chascas” Valenzuela joins as a creator of sound fictions.

The Premium version was launched on September 15, 2020, in Spain and Latin America with an extraordinary reception from the public. This Premium version, which costs 3.99 euros per month with a 14-day free trial, allows users to access 120 new exclusive podcasts per month, which amounts to more than 2,000 original podcasts per year, as well as a wide selection of the best audiobooks in Spanish.

Podimo is already available in 20 countries in Latin America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Panama, Peru, Dominican Republic, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
