Spotify Celebrates Mexico’s Booming Podcast Scene With First-Ever Podcast Awards

Mexico’s love for podcasts is no longer a trend—it’s a lifestyle. With more than 27 million people in Mexico tuning into podcasts on Spotify in 2024 alone, a 19% increase from the previous year, we’re thrilled to celebrate the country’s vibrant podcasting community with the first-ever Spotify Podcast Awards.

“The Spotify Podcast Awards seek to become a recognition worthy of the talent and creativity of podcasters in Mexico,” said Thais Tavara, Head of Podcasts, Spotify Mexico. “Our goal is to celebrate the cultural impact of podcasts in the country, while offering fans a creative way to recognize their favorite creators voting through the app.”

The awards recognize podcasts across 10 categories, from comedy and true crime to wellness and gossip, celebrating the diverse range of content that resonates with Mexican listeners. The nominees were selected by Spotify based on a combination of listener data and critical acclaim from 2024.

From May 7 to May 21, fans will be able to vote for their favorite podcasts directly through the Spotify app. Free users will have one vote per category per day, while Premium users will have three votes per category each day. The winners will be announced live on Spotify Mexico’s TikTok account on June 4.
