Mar 1, 2021
Podimo aims to lead the podcasting market in Latin America by launching a new Latin version of its app with over 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 around 300 episodes of podcasts with a Latin 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 go-to app for audio content of all types in Spanish related to spoken word: 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 reports in general, among other audio content.
Nine prestigious producers from Latin America have signed agreements with Podimo to produce great original fiction and non-fiction podcast programs in the coming months that will be available exclusively soon 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 producers in Latin America that join the Podimo platform's family of partners to explore new sound narratives that engage new audiences throughout the Latin American region through podcasts and audiobooks. Meanwhile, more than 30 Latin American creators have firmly embraced the podcast to share their new stories, whether fiction or non-fiction, a format that will soon become one of the main ways to inform, entertain, and learn across the region. 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, 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. The writer and journalist Alberto Tavira ventures into the podcast world with Podimo to exclusively share the secrets of the great power dynasties. 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 words will give voice to the fiction podcasts with which Podimo begins its journey in Latin America. Likewise, 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 to survive – and enjoy! – working from home in a constantly changing reality. To cap it all off, 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 of recent years.
From Argentina, powerful voices are also joining Podimo's catalog that will give much to talk about. It is worth mentioning, to begin with, La pelota no se mancha, a podcast by Lalo Zanoni about the life, no more and no less, than Diego Armando Maradona. In Andinas, Aldana Cal and Carla Maliandi take us to explore the Andes mountains to tell us the stories of the great women whose lives are intertwined with the mountains; while in Fiebre Blanca, Agustina Larrea and Tomás Balmaceda take us deep into Antarctica, the strangest and most inhospitable region on the planet: the one we know the least about, and the one that holds the most secrets. The author Bibiana Ricciardi leaves nothing in the inkwell in Caníbales, which recounts the most chilling stories of the most famous cannibal killers across the continent. In La Marea, we attend to 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 series of interviews; and in La Pasión de Bolívar, the writer and journalist Florencia Canale gifts us an unpublished portrait of the great hero of the continent. Carolina Bugnone and Melisa Fernández present 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 goosebumps recounting several chilling murders. Finally, Podimo will exclusively feature a series of "short-pods" consisting 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 are added 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. From Chile, with 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, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Panama, Peru, Dominican Republic, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
