It was another exciting day at Podcast Movement 2021<\/a>! Here’s a recap of the day’s top sessions and events.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"podcast\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

We were thrilled to sponsor the Spanish Language Track. We had some amazing presenters on the stage too!<\/p>\n

First, was the father daughter duo Aracely Rivera and Melvin Rivera<\/a>, and their session \u201cThe State of Spanish Language Podcasting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Riveras run Via Podcast<\/a> where they offer a daily newsletter on the podcasting industry in Spanish.<\/p>\n

They also launched a podcasting academy teaching everything you need to know about creating and growing a podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In their session, Aracely and Melvin shared a review of the developments of the last twelve months in the audio-on-demand industry, and the impact on Spanish speakers who podcast in the United States as well as Latin America and Spain.<\/p>\n

Next up was the “Why it’s time to invest in Latam Podcast Ecosystem” session by Alejandro Vargas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alejandro is the director at Podway LA Agencia<\/a>. The company helps brand podcasts and distribute them to podcast directories<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his presentation, Alejandro talked about the growth of LATAM markets, and the challenges for things like monetization of podcasts in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and more.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"ben\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Shortly after that session ended, our founders Ben Richardson (left), and Alberto Betella (right) snapped this great picture together.<\/p>\n

Why is this such a big deal, you ask?<\/p>\n

A lot of people don\u2019t know this, but these two started our company without ever having met.<\/p>\n

This week at Podcast Movement was the first time they met in person!<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Douglas\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

After lunch on the RSS.com stage, we got to hear from Douglas Lezameta, CEO of TV Fusion Latina<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He shared his presentation \u201cC\u00f3mo Producir Podcast Para Empresas\u201d which translates in English to \u201cHow to Produce a Podcast for Business.<\/p>\n

In the bilingual session, Douglas talked about how to find and pitch businesses to podcast for as well as recording, branding, and distribution ideas.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Next up was a presentation with Alex Dali Rizo<\/a> about how to make an unstoppable podcast (C\u00f3mo hacer un podcast imparable).<\/p>\n

Alex shared several ingredients in the recipe for success in podcasting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The big takeaway that seemed to be a running theme not just for his presentation, but for many speakers was the importance of acting like an entrepreneur if you hope to make money and succeed in this industry.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

He brought some unique insights from his two decades of experience working in advertising and branded content, and shared how what he has learned can be applied to podcasting.<\/p>\n
