Three major producers from Latin America join forces with Podimo to produce great stories in podcast format.
Oct 27, 2020
Three of the most prestigious podcast producers in Latin America: “Anfibia” from Argentina; “Así como Suena” from Mexico; and “La No Ficción” from Colombia, are the first to have signed a production agreement with Podimo to explore new sound narratives that engage new audiences throughout the Latin American region through podcasts and audiobooks. Our app is already available in 20 countries in Latin America, as well as in Spain, with an offering of over 50,000 podcasts and audiobooks in Spanish. Listening to podcasts and audiobooks has become a global phenomenon, already a format listened to by nearly 1 billion people worldwide. Spanish is one of the languages with the highest growth rate in podcast and audiobook listening globally.
As a result of these agreements, the three mentioned companies are committed to producing this year six major original fiction and non-fiction podcast shows that will be available soon on our platform. Through these strategic agreements, Podimo's goal is to grow the category of podcasts and audiobooks in Latin America by attracting new listeners who have yet to discover the suitability of these formats for entertainment, skill learning, or catching up. “In the podcast world, great Anglo-Saxon productions like “Serial” or “Winds of Change” are often cited as examples which are magnificent, but we firmly believe that we have the same talent in the Hispanic world. These agreements are born out of the commitment of all parties involved to create great stories with extremely high narrative quality in Spanish, incorporating the latest sound innovations to provide listeners with an unparalleled auditory experience,” says Javier Celaya, General Director of Podimo in Latin America and Spain. These agreements in Latin America reinforce Podimo's strategy for major productions in Spain, continuing the production of large series launched in the last four months such as Silencio en Bhopal, a docufiction that narrates the disaster that occurred in the Indian city of Bhopal on the night of December 2 to 3, 1984; Historias secretas, the latest creation of journalist and communicator Iker Jiménez; or Psycholand, the flagship podcast of the true crime genre this season.
