Coffee or tea? Milk or chocolate? Sunrise yoga or sunset meditation? Going out for brunch or dinner? Well, podcasts, pizza, and pints sound more interesting and worthy of time. At an event hosted by Anima Podcast, The Pod Network, and Puma Podcast, they brought together renowned, up-and-coming, and established podcasters from across the country. With intimate and engaging conversations throughout, the event highlighted what to expect in the future of podcasting nationwide.
As someone fairly new to the podcast scene within the community, it was a momentous experience for me. Wherever I turn around, I hear opinions from vibrant individuals—perhaps it’s something that sets podcasters apart: the innate ability to talk and ignite conversations.
The event was graced by the presence of esteemed personalities such as Joyce Pring, Ceej Tantengco, Dani Barretto, and Bianca Gonzales. They shared their invaluable insights on the growth of the podcasting community in the country. Their collective wisdom painted a picture of a community that has grown significantly and is brimming with exciting possibilities for the future.
After conducting in-depth research on the state of the country’s podcasting scene, prominent producers have emphasized the importance of numbers. They assert that metrics are crucial, as they provide insights into content’s coming time.
As numbers become increasingly significant in the future of podcasting in the Philippines, a community is formed around the released content. Prominent podcasters listen to their peers, fostering a sense of camaraderie. These communities stem from a shared understanding of their backgrounds, the art they produce for a wide audience, and the collective experiences that bind them together. This is what makes the podcasting community in the country special, as I see it, even though I haven’t fully immersed myself in it yet. However, rest assured, I am determined to get there, especially after hearing some of these podcasters share their current favorite podcasts, which I am eager to listen to.
