September Podcast RoundUp: Celebrating Hispanic Heritage
Alexandria Caggia, Podcast Sales Marketing Specialist, SiriusXM MediaSep 3, 2024Monthly podcast listening among U.S. Latinos has reached a record high, with a 52% increase since 2020. At SiriusXM Media, we meet advertisers' needs to tap into this growing audience segment through our exclusive partnership with reVolver and Pitaya, two of the leading Hispanic podcast networks, each reaching millions of listeners every month. Per Edison Research, we found that nearly one in two Latin-American listeners say hearing an advertisement on a podcast —versus TV, radio, and social media— makes them more likely to purchase a product. In other words, podcasts are a sure-fire way to reach diverse, eager-to-engage audiences and garner significant brand results.

A Tale of Two Cultures
Hundreds of thousands of Mexican-Americans are obsessing over Pitaya’s weekly sociocultural talk show, De Todo Un Mucho.

Thanks to their charismatic charm and undeniable chemistry, this bilingual duo has gained nearly one million subscribers on YouTube. This is promising for advertisers looking to broaden their reach across platforms as Hispanic listeners are 78% more likely to watch video podcasts on the daily than the average podcast fan.

Adela is an excellent fit for brands looking to reach media-savvy men and culture buffs, given her entertainment-style show skews predominantly male (54%).
