What's going on in Venezuela? - with Chris Andrade from Escuela de Nada (Episode in Spanish)

In this episode of The Global Podscape, we dive into one of the most unique and least understood podcast markets in the world. I spoke with Christopher Andrade, co-host of Escuela de Nada—one of the biggest podcasts in Latin America—to understand how podcasting actually works in Venezuela today. We explore: * Why podcasts are not available on Spotify in Venezuela * How YouTube became the dominant platform for podcast consumption * The role of the Venezuelan diaspora in building audiences * How creators monetize without traditional audio platforms * And why the connection between hosts and listeners might be stronger than anywhere else One key takeaway: podcasting in Venezuela is not audio-first—it’s video-first, global by default, and built outside of the traditional system. If you're thinking about international podcast campaigns, or just want to understand how media evolves under constraint, this is one of the most fascinating markets to look at right now.

What's going on in Argentina? - with Luciano Banchero from Posta

Argentina has one of the strongest audio cultures in the world, but podcasting has followed a very different path compared to markets like the U.S. or even Mexico and Brazil. In this episode of The Global Podscape, we sit down with Luciano Banchero, co-founder and CEO of Posta, one of the leading podcast production companies in Latin America and one of the first in the region to be acquired by PodX. We talk about how podcasting in Argentina evolved from a radio-first culture into a creator-driven ecosystem, why branded content became the dominant business model, and why traditional advertising still hasn’t fully developed. Luciano also shares his perspective on the role of YouTube and Spotify, why video might be overestimated, and what it really takes to build a sustainable podcast business in Latin America today.
