The Podcast Scene In Mexico<\/b><\/h3>

In comparison to Mexico\u2019s robust radio scene, the podcast industry in Mexico is still in its developing stages and currently experiencing rapid growth.<\/span> According to PwC<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>while the overall music\/radio industry revenues in Mexico are expected to decrease by 19.7% in 2020, the podcast industry\u2019s earnings are expected to increase by $19 million dollars (25.9%). Earnings are achieved mainly via advertisements, and some direct charges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In 2020, podcast listeners are estimated to reach 22 million in Mexico, over four times more compared to 2015 when there were only 5 million listeners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Spotify<\/i><\/b><\/p>

In contrast to more mature markets like the US, podcasts in Mexico have mainly focused on non-news content, with the most popular podcasts being related to comedy, personal growth, entrepreneurship and personal finance. Another difference is that, thanks to the mobile phone market diversification in Mexico, Spotify has been able to achieve a large market share over Apple Podcasts, the leading podcast app in the US.<\/span><\/p>

This is also partly because Spotify has launched agreements with local media outlets to produce podcasts that will be exclusively played on their platform. They partnered with Grupo Expansi\u00f3n, to produce 8 podcasts on business and economy. Spotify has an alliance with Vice News, which created the El Chapo mini-series, and they partnered with Cultura UNAM and Rolling Stone Mexico for the special series on the Tlatelolco massacre. Also, the widely popular personal growth podcast, \u201cSe regalan dudas\u201d is exclusively found in Spotify.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As\u00ed como suena<\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

As\u00ed Como Suena is another major Mexican podcast producer that has put out about a dozen podcasts. They have partnered with El Pa\u00eds to make La Lista, Netflix with Nada Que Ver, Valeria Moy (IMCO director) with Peras y Manzanas. Their podcasts are consistently well produced with a high quality modern sound.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Their description of themselves is, \u201cEn As\u00ed como suena contamos historias: historias de amor y de odio, de crimen, de pol\u00edtica, de corrupci\u00f3n, de vida cotidiana. Nuestro extraordinario equipo de reporteros no se queda en la superficie, en la nota. Cava profundo. Y te ofrece piezas sonoras extraordinarias; historias que merecen ser escuchadas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

APO Digital<\/i><\/b><\/p>

Ana Paula Ordorica\u2019s podcast app (APO Digital) and associated podcasts (Broojula). is also gaining traction in the international news area, also available on Spotify and other channels.<\/span><\/p>

Trends in Mexico<\/i><\/b><\/p>

In terms of trends among Mexican podcasts, some of the most popular for general audiences are in the comedy and self-help categories. Like Leyendas Legendarias, a popular podcast that is a mix of comedy, true crime, and paranormal activity stories. However, many Mexicans that we talked to for this piece, primarily listen to podcasts from America in English.<\/span><\/p>

We think there is an opportunity for a Mexican podcast to emerge\u00a0 that covers more general intellectually engaging topics that would appeal to a wide Mexican audience. A few that come close in their appeal to a wide audience are <\/span>Radio Ambulante<\/span> con <\/span>Las Raras<\/span> (both not from Mexico).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
