The number of podcasts in Spanish grew 6.8 times last year, according to iVoox. 55% of Spanish podcast listeners are listening more now than before the pandemic, says a new study. We’ve linked to it in full from the press release; above is data showing the growth of other languages.
Spanish listeners will also have another big show to enjoy: Canción Exploder will be a Spanish-language version of Song Exploder. It’s to launch in early 2022 on Radiotopia from PRX, produced by Adonde Media.
Podcast publisher Auddy thinks there’s more to podcasting than just America. Andrew Craissati, CEO and co-founder of Auddy is a guest on Podland ▸ today, and says “Our focus is the world excluding the US. We think that the rest of the world is an incredibly exciting market. We’re a very internationally-minded company. The British seem to excel as being an exporter of the creative industries.” It’s hosted by Sam Sethi and Podnews’s Editor, James Cridland.
