S1EP3 - How does Europe listen to podcasts?

The rise of podcasts in recent years has led to the exploration of new narratives and formats. There are more and more podcasts with a large fanbase and they take advantage of this by involving their audience and making them part of their recordings.  Involving the audience in a podcast makes it unique and unpredictable. Therefore, producing this kind of podcasts is not an easy task. To further explore this issue, Javi Caminero is joined by Fanny Cohen Moreau, journalist and podcast producer. Learn more about Fanny’s recommendation:  Transfert: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xsOQzpeP5QggUY2CacpR5   Canapé Six Places: https://open.spotify.com/show/2ybKKK1jFijdeWal2qYNsT   Visit the WePod project website: https://www.wepodproject.eu/welcome  Credits:  Hosted and written by Javi Caminero  Sound design by Manu Tomillo  Coordinator: Alexander Damiano Ricci  Executive producer: Ana Ribera  This project has received funding from CROSS-Sectoral of the Creative Europe Programme. 

For some time now, the most successful books have also been available in audio version, something that allows them to reach a wider audience or to facilitate their consumption for those who want to read them but cannot do so due to a lack of time. To understand the current state of audiobooks in Europe, Javi Caminero is joined by one of the leading experts on the subject, Javier Celaya. Learn more about Javier’s recommendation:  Un tema al día: https://open.spotify.com/show/54Vnd9qwrTaINwzCkTTIWO?si=3901d1860ad84a0d   Visit the WePod project website: https://www.wepodproject.eu/welcome  Credits:  Hosted and written by Javi Caminero  Sound design by Manu Tomillo  Coordinator: Alexander Damiano Ricci  Executive producer: Ana Ribera  This project has received funding from CROSS-Sectoral of the Creative Europe Programme. 

More and more people are listening to podcasts, and that translates into interest from brands and sponsored content.  A very clear example of how branded content has made its way into podcasting in recent years is Blum, an audio thriller sponsored by Switzerland Tourism and produced by the Spanish production company El Extraordinario. To find out more about Blum and the state of branded podcasting in Europe, Javi Caminero is joined by Marcus Hurst, Creative Director of El Extraordinario.  Learn more about Marcus’ recommendation:  El Constructor: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Constructor_(documental)   Visit the WePod project website: https://www.wepodproject.eu/welcome  Credits:  Hosted and written by Javi Caminero  Sound design by Manu Tomillo  Coordinator: Alexander Damiano Ricci  Executive producer: Ana Ribera  This project has received funding from CROSS-Sectoral of the Creative Europe Programme.
