Considered one of the most “intimate” digital formats, Podcasts have gained fame and positioned themselves among the tastes of the Argentine public following the arrival of streaming platforms in the new millennium, such as Spotify.

Its growth has been significant since the emergence of corona virus pandemic in 2020, which has forced the majority of people to stay in lockdown, who in turn have started experimenting with various formats and channels to get informed and entertained.

Podcasts are audio products available through files or streaming platforms and one of their great advantages is that the user can listen to it whenever he wants and as many times as he wants.

However, the podcast is not something new, rather it is a product that enjoyed great popularity at the beginning of the 21st century, but which then he was relegated by the arrival of compact discs, ipods, among others.

However, its easy access, broad genres and diverse narratives have facilitated its new golden age and many companies have started betting on them again to reach more users.

Currently this type of production is well received in Argentina and the proof is these 10 podcasts that are on everyone’s lips.

A podcast is an audio product which has a defined periodicity and can be made up of several episodes, although it has its origins in the radio, currently those who like this format can find it on internet pages or streaming platforms like Spotify.

Although podcasts started as a discussion between various participants on a particular topic, over time the ways of doing them have diversified and now a person or a group can speak, likewise they are not only used as a space to exchange views, but also encompass genres of interview like the #EnCasaDeMara podcast where he asks questions to various characters such as Edy Smol oh fiction as is the case with the thriller of the Caso 63 Chilean Podcast or deal with issues of science, politics, journalism, welfare, among others.

The word “podcast” was first used on February 12, 2004. by Guardian journalist Ben Hammersley in an article in which he explained how economically viable it was to create an online radio broadcast and access it when users wanted it.

Swedish society Spotify announced in November 2020 the takeover and acquisition of the advertising and podcasting platform Megaphone for 235 million dollars, which was used for the monetization of audios and the heyday of this type of production, which has become one of the formats back-to-school 2022 favourites.

Last year Spotify’s podcast offering extended to new markets and recorded the existence of more than four million podcasts, although few have managed to leave a bigger mark in 2022 and become the most popular.

The coronavirus pandemic has not only benefited podcasts by increasing their number of users, but also audiobooks also added more consumers on various platforms, including Spotify, as it is estimated that they can leave annual profits of up to $70 billion.

The streaming platform, where audio books increased by 20% turned to narrating books with the voices of Hollywood celebrities.
