PODIUM PODCAST
PODIUM Podcast, the global network of podcasts
in Spanish, celebrated its first anniversary with
over 17,000,000 downloads to date. The largest
production network of cultural, journalistic and editorial
audio content in Spanish continues to grow,
with an offer of over 30 programs in its first year.
The most successful podcasts were Bienvenido a
la vida peligrosa, El gran apagón and V, las cloacas
del Estado. In addition, new series like Rendición,
O.V.N.I and Valencia Destro reported 200,000
downloads.
A noteworthy development was the incorporation
of audio as a further channel for the distribution of
content. A good example of this was the integration
of a relevant podcast into a story on the El País
home page.
