Mix It Up: Latino Podcast Listeners Want Variety

Presented yesterday, the Latino Podcast Listener Report 2022 from Edison Research shows significant demand for variety in Spanish-language content. “Topic drives consumption,” says co-presenter Elsie Escobar. “Latinx/e creators need to be creating content about EVERYTHING. All the things.”

The report covers detailed listener demographics, methods of discovery and consumption, receptiveness to podcast ads, and more. Video engagement is huge: 76% of US Latino monthly listeners consume shows with a video component where they actively watch while listening.

Listeners want cultural representation across a range of genres, writes Maribel Quezada Smith, co-founder of BIPOC Podcast Creators. Her biggest takeaway is that Latinos want to hear from each other. “Latino podcast hosts don’t have to stick to Latino-centered topics to make a successful show.” 

Local news podcasts are another opportunity in the market. 87% of those surveyed are interested in local news that primarily includes stories about and perspectives from Latinos. Escobar says that Latino communities “crave” content that affects them directly and immediately.

Escobar, Director of Community and Content at Libsyn, will dive deeper into the data next month. A free Multilingual Podcasters Meetup on September 15 will focus on nuanced trends and how to improve the future of podcasting. Attendees will be able to network and share ideas of their own.

Here's what else is going on:

• Let’s roll: Speaker applications are open for PM Evolutions 2023 in Las Vegas. More in this week’s event update: another round of PM22 speakers and sessions, last-call opportunities (Pro Pass tickets and the overflow hotel are nearly sold out) and Podcast Pavilion reservations are going fast.

• Inside out: Spotify is testing a feature in Vietnam that prompts users to record voice reactions to playlists. Following the in-app recording test in New Zealand, “it’s fair to assume that these reaction ‘podcasts’ will be published directly to creators’ personal profile[s],” says Ivan Mehta of TechCrunch.

• Get together: The first Black Podcasters Association Summer Social is this Saturday, August 20. Held in Brooklyn, NY, the networking event for podcast creators and industry professionals will include a fireside chat with Anthony Frasier, CEO & Founder of ABF Creative. Registration starts at $20.

• Writer’s block: “How to Think Structurally” from Dustlight Productions is on Wednesday, August 31. In a hands-on workshop, Creative Director Arwen Nicks will dissect what structure is, why it matters, and how to utilize it as a tool for better podcasting. $75 registration; assistance available.
