'The Joe Rogan Experience'
When we talk about author podcasts , we are not referring exactly to the meaning that is usually associated with the cinematographic field and that emerged in the 1960s with the magazine Cahiers du Cinéma and the Nouevelle Vague. But there is something of that concept of authorship that the podcasts that we highlight today share: the author, that is, the host or host of the show has a preponderant role, since the vision of that podcast - also its sound, its design, the choice of guests and, almost always, the script - is executed by him. In this sense, the podcast of Joe Roganit is almost an extension of itself. This highly successful comedian began his career in 2003 and does so as a video podcast , a modality that is now barely maintained, since the podcast is only associated with audio. Rogan met Brian Redban , a self-taught video editor and employee at a computer store in Ohio. Rogan and Redban met at that store in 2000 and their adventure began there. Those videos were so successful that they soon decided they had to expand the formats. They then decided on the audio podcast and released their first episode on December 24, 2009. Joe Rogan, comedian and sportscaster, knew that recurrence and discipline in days and hours of publication was critical, so he soon went from having a episode a week to two weekly. In 2010, it got its first sponsor — a sex toy brand — and a year later Rogan struck a deal with SiriusXM, a subscription-based satellite radio service. The podcast Rogan is always the number 1 on all large lists of the world and the list of guests who have gone through interviews peculiar ranging from boxer Mike Tyson, the influential Edward Snowden, actors like Robert Downey Jr., Mel Gibson, Macaulay Culkin, presenters like Jay Leno or magnates like Elon Musk.
'Hotel Jorge Juan (with Javier Aznar)'
This podcast is one of the revelations of the past year. Javier Aznar is one of the most followed columnists in our country. His posts on Vanity Fair or As, as well as his Twitter account are followed by thousands of readers who have now moved to the podcast format . Hotel Jorge Juan is an in-depth interview podcast that usually focuses on topics related to journalism, design, lifestyle , literature or cinema. Aznar represents as few the word host or its translation into Spanish (host) associated with the field of podcasting . You already know that in the podcast world you don't talk about presenter, but about host, because listening to certain episodes is a lot like entering someone's house and starting to listen to a conversation that takes place there. In the end, that sonorous home of Javier Aznar is very similar to his interests: the hotel atmosphere, the elegance, the design, the taste for telling a good story, the stories in the New Yorker style , the possibility of discovering talents ... everything It is part of a podcast that was born together with a brand of alcoholic beverages that has managed to see in this format a different way of growing its branding .
'Amy Schumer Presents: 3 girls, 1 Keith'
Amy Schumer is one of the most important comedians in the United States. Her fame has crossed borders thanks to monologues on Netflix such as Growing , where she combines her corrosive humor and a fierce fight against machismo or the imposture of certain beauty canons associated with women. All that spirit multiplied by three is what Schumer gives to this podcast that he shares with his friends Bridget Everett, Rachel Feinstein and Keith Robinson. In each episode they talk about their lives, pop culture, politics, and comedy. The idea is almost as if you were attending a dinner with your best friends, that is, anything can come out of your mouth. The podcast was purchased by Spotify to be broadcast exclusively on its platform. Schumer feels so much that the podcast is her home that in one of her last episodes she laughed out loud how she and her husband had to change their son's name after realizing it sounded like "genital". His first name was Gene Attell Fischer. After repeating it many times out loud they knew the enormous amount of jokes that such a name would generate, so they changed it to Gene David Fishcher. Do not miss this podcast if you want to laugh non-stop with one of the best comedians in the world.
'The Cristina Miter podcast '
Cristina is a reference for many other women who undertake, fight and carry out their projects, despite difficulties, families and problems. This podcast is an inspiration to many women - although I know more and more men who listen to it - because they talk about those topics that normally do not appear in the mainstream media. It has just passed the hundred published episodes and, in my opinion, is at its best. Not only because it accumulates tens of thousands of downloads, but because it helps other podcasters to grow within the ecosystem. His generosity makes the format grow. Since 2012 Cristina coordinated a blog about cosmetics, fitness, nutrition, running and health. The same topics he talks about in his podcast that has become an extension of his blog. Although now it would almost be necessary to say it the other way around: the sound format has won the writing. Miter consumed a lot of English podcast devoted to beauty ( Fat Mascara, The Beauty Brains, The Emma Guns Show and others like Ctrl Alt, Delete, Desert Island Discs, Don't Salt my game, Fashion No Filter ). He soon realized that there was nothing similar in Spain, so he launched into the adventure. "The audio format is perfect for the type of content because it allows me to deliver expert information without the time and space constraints of video and paper." In an interview with this newspaper, Miter explained what was the key to her success in connecting with so many women: "Once, a boss gave me advice that I have applied since then: 'Tell it as you would explain it to a good friend.' And that's what I try to do every Sunday in my podcast and on my blog: bring beauty and healthy lifestyle information closer to my community. Explain the science behind and the whys so that they are critical and can make their own decisions. Social networks are super valuable for my work, because through Instagram, Facebook or Twitter I can find out what their doubts are or what topics interest them ”.
'WTF (with Marc Maron)'
Maron is an American actor who for over twenty years has been writing and performing comic roles. One of the latest, by the way, in the Netflix Glow series. In September 2009, Marc changed the podcast landscape when WTF began , which stands for What The Fuck? In this podcast , Marc had unique conversations with iconic personalities like Conan O'Brien, Terry Gross, Robin Williams, Keith Richards or Ben Stiller. Everything changed in episode 613, when President Barack Obama went to the garage of his home. This happened in June 2015 and became a milestone, with more than six million downloads per month and more than 250 million cumulative downloads. Of course, what Obama said there was broadcast and picked up in the rest of the media in the United States and the world. Many associate Maron with a kind of confessor. He manages to create a climate so absolutely unique that many of his interviewees have confessed things there that they had never said before. In 2010, for example, actor Robin Williams talked a lot about his suicidal thoughts. Ones that finally took place in 2018. In this sense, one can laugh a lot listening to WTF but it also invades a certain pain at times, when those who seem to always wear a mask take it off. It is the closest thing to a good self-help podcast you can find.
'Women of the hour (with Lena Dunham)'
Dunham is a storyteller and actress who became famous for Girls, that HBO series that changed a generation and uncovered huge talents like Adam Driver. In his podcast much of his audiovisual narrative is intensified, which puts themes such as friendship, love, work, bodies or madness on the sound stage. He is dedicating his last episodes to this topic. Together with Alissa Bennett, co - host of the podcast , they discuss the story of Sean Young, known for playing the mythical character of Stripes in Blade Runner at just 22 years old. But after rumors that it was "difficult to work with" and disturbing romantic rumors, her reputation plummeted. Lena and Alissa analyze Sean's career through her desire to play Catwoman and a few unfortunate talk show appearances that would make her a broken Hollywood toy. This podcast will delight those who enjoyed Girls .
'What you say (with Álex Fidalgo)'
It could be defined as the Spanish Marc Maron. This Galician presenter and actor directs one of the most consumed podcasts in Spain. Many of those who listen to him care little about who the interviewee was that week, but rather the way in which Álex will approach the interview. Some conversations on his podcast have already become mythical : the one he had with a distant but fascinating Doctor Cavadas; the tense chat with the narco Laureano Oubiña or the one that did the mythical Jose María García live. None of them intimidated Fidalgo, whose charisma is such that he recently published in Kailas a book with ten of his best talks. The journalistic vein is guessed in specials such as those carried out lately in the covid-19 crisis by specialists such as Juan Gestal, Carmen García Talles, Jaime Salvador, Juan Ayllón or Adolfo García-Sastre. And with Maron he shares that rare quality of confessor, of a guest who never bothers (do not miss the episode in which he gets into the house of Isabel Coixet and ends up getting a role in his next series), of rescuer of broken toys (unforgettable the turn of Coto Matamoros).
'Tech & Society (with Mark Zuckerberg)'
Although Zuckerberg does not meet one of the great commandments of the podcast as guru Eric Nuzum ( "The podcasters put all their thought and effort into what they will create, but very little on how to build an audience. The" creative courage "is the amount of editorial ambition you will use to create your podcast . Commitment is really measured by your commitment outside of production to build the podcast ”), since he has barely published six episodes of his podcasts in a year, the truth is that the Zuckerberg's arrival to podcasting was experienced as a milestone. In his podcast on technology and society, he tries to converse with experts in progress, science, government, democracy, journalism or law to understand how all these areas collide with technology in the contemporary world. Last year's goal for Facebook was to launch a series of discussions on the future of technology in society, analyzing opportunities and challenges and minimizing concerns and fears. Some of these debates have already been published on video and now Zuckerberg is joining podcaster fashion to get more audience.
'The Tim Ferris Show'
Tim Ferris has become a guru of the moment based on TED (technology, entertainment and design) talks. Some of them about business leadership exceed millions of views. This motivational speaking specialist writer launched his own podcast in 2014 and has already surpassed 400 million downloads. Ferris has been defined as a mix between "Jack Welch and a Buddhist monk." He has also been called the Oprah of the audio. The truth is that its fame is worldwide and very especially in the business world. Like few others, it represents the idea of the great American dream and self-improvement. In some of his talks and in many of his episodes he has explained how he was on the verge of suicide. Ferris suffers from bipolar depression and has learned to live with it in such a way that many of his tips have reached the best business gurus in the world: Jeff Bezos, among them. The last episode is a masterful talk with Jane Goodall and draws a valuable lesson for these times: the interconnectedness of all living things and the collective power of individual action.
'Deformed Weekly Total Idea (with Lucía Litmajer and Isa Calderón)'
Litmajer and Calderón have achieved something that seemed impossible: to carry out a feminist late-night in Spain. But that feat has continued to grow with Deforme Semanal Idea Total, the podcast format now broadcast on Radio Primavera Sound. From this radio show , the two hostesses reel in the life and culture of our time with lucid reflections, exciting guests and huge amounts of laughter. Issues like boredom, beauty, hypocrisy, anxiety or obsession have passed through its sharp microphones. As have personalities such as Pablo Iglesias, Brigitte Vasallo or Ada Colau, among others. This highly intelligent podcast has often been treated as marginal but they know what to answer. In a recent interview with SModa, Calderón stated: “In interviews, many people tell us that we do 'as a very radical thing and very much on the margins'. Well, I am going to tell you one thing, to do a very marginal thing we are filling theaters. Maybe not as radical or as marginal. ” And I can not agree more: Deform Weekly is recommended for all those who appreciate intelligence and a sense of humor. Sorry for the redundancy.
