Podimo apuesta por Latinoamérica lanzando una nueva versión latina de su app con audiolibros y podcasts exclusivos

Mar 1, 2021

Podimo aims to lead the podcasting market in Latin America by launching a new Latin version of its app with more than 50,000 podcasts in Spanish and 600,000 in English. In addition, its catalog of Premium content in Spanish, which costs $3.99 per month with a 14-day free trial, initially includes 30 original and exclusive podcast programs, representing almost 300 podcast episodes with a Latino accent, as well as nearly 1,000 audiobooks in Spanish. Throughout this year, Podimo's Premium catalog will increase its offerings to surpass 2,000 original and exclusive podcasts in Spanish, as well as 2,000 audiobooks in Spanish. Podimo's goal is to become the reference app for listening to all types of audio content related to the spoken word in Spanish: podcasts, audiobooks, audio series, sound fiction, sound versions of literary festivals (such as the FILBA or the Hay Festival), audio readings of press articles, and general reports, among other audio content.


Nine prestigious producers from Latin America have signed agreements with Podimo to produce in the coming months major original fiction and non-fiction podcast programs that will soon be available exclusively on the Podimo streaming platform. Así como Suena, Dixo, and Frecuencia Sónica from Mexico, RDF-Emisor Podcasting from Chile, Posta, Anfibia Podcast and Sherezade from Argentina, as well as La No Ficción and Podway from Colombia, are nine of the most prestigious podcast production companies in Latin America that join the Podimo platform’s family of partners to explore new sound narratives that capture new audiences across the Latin American region through podcasts and audiobooks. Meanwhile, more than 30 Latin American creators have invested heavily in podcasts to tell their new stories, whether fiction or non-fiction, a format that will soon be crowned as one of the main ways to inform, entertain, and learn throughout the region. Experts on all kinds of subjects, journalists, writers, celebrities, and influencers have found that podcasts allow them to connect directly with their audiences in a very dynamic and entertaining way. From Mexico, among many others, we will encounter the prestigious journalists Sandra Romandía and Rossana Fuentes Berain, who will guide us through one of the most comprehensive investigations ever conducted on the phenomenon of the murders in Ciudad Juárez, Olvidadas. Writer and journalist Alberto Tavira ventures into the world of podcasts alongside Podimo to exclusively share the secrets of the great dynasties of power. Also from Mexico, we are joined by Pamela Cerdeira with Extraordinarios, a podcast that allows us to discover Latin American characters who are already becoming great agents of change, as well as writers of the caliber of Antonio Ortuño, Francisco Payo, and Diego Petersen, whose writings will give voice to the fiction podcasts with which Podimo begins its journey in Latin America. Additionally, the program Co-Nexión, hosted by Sissi Cancino, will be exclusively launched, addressing an urgent topic in today's times: the use and consumption of technology among children. We should mention 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 amid a reality of constant change. To wrap things up, 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 that will give much to talk about are also joining the Podimo catalog. It is worth mentioning, to begin with, La pelota no se mancha, a podcast by Lalo Zanoni about the life, nothing more and nothing less, of Diego Armando Maradona. In Andinas, Aldana Cal and Carla Maliandi take us on a journey through the Andes to tell us the story of the great women whose lives are intertwined with the mountains; while in Fiebre Blanca, Agustina Larrea and Tomás Balmaceda immerse us into the depths of Antarctica, the most bizarre and inhospitable region of the planet: the one we know the least about, and the one that holds the most secrets. Author Bibiana Ricciardi leaves nothing unsaid in Caníbales, which collects the most chilling stories of the most famous cannibal killers on the continent. In La Marea, we witness the story of the “Ni una menos” movement, written and narrated by its protagonists, Paula Rodríguez, Ingrid Beck, and Florencia Alcaraz. In Segunda oportunidad, the renowned journalist Ronnie Arias offers us an exquisite cycle of interviews; and in La Pasión de Bolívar, writer and journalist Florencia Canale gifts us an unprecedented portrait of the great hero of the continent. Carolina Bugnone and Melisa Fernández offer us in Chechu te ayuda a parodic satire of the typical therapeutic help podcast. In Hoy Trasnoche presenta: Mató Mil, Fiorella Sargenti and Santiago Calori will give us chills with the recounts of several gruesome crimes. Finally, Podimo will exclusively feature a series of “short-pods” of 45 episodes of Interés General, where Juan Belli allows us to learn something new in five minutes in a fun and super original way. To the Mexican and Argentine voices, Renato Cisneros and Gustavo Rodríguez from Peru, and the renowned podcaster and influencer Dani3Palacios from Colombia, who will talk to us about the twelve most terrible serial killers in Latin America with real and terrifying stories of cases that have marked these events in the region, are adding their voices. From Chile, and with the help of RDF Media - Emisor Podcasting, Podimo users will be able to access Borrado and Turing, two extraordinary science fiction series that unveil what the real threat and currency of change will be in the near future.

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