Social:Ivoox
iVoox is a podcast and radio platform in Spanish. The third most used podcast app in Spain, after YouTube and Spotify.[1] It was founded in 2010 by Juan Ignacio Solera at Grupo Intercom.[2]
Services
iVoox offers mainly Spanish-speaking content and most of its users are based in Spain. The portal offers audio files free of charge, which can be accessed via the website or via an application for mobile devices. There is also the possibility of podcast creation, as long as you have your own account for the publication of content.
During the covid pandemic in Spain, the site experienced a boom in podcasts.[3]
Popular programmes
- El Rey del Cachopo ( Miniseries about the crimes committed by César Román)
- La ContraHistoria de Fernando Díaz Villanueva (The Counter-History of Fernando Díaz Villanueva)
- Year I after Diego by Mundo Deportivo
- Camp Krypton.[4]
- V9 - Formula 1 in Spanish
Controversies
Some media have pointed out that ivoox can be a source of fake news because it lacks a team of moderators. This is in addition to the fact that it favours major news channels such as Cadena Ser, Los 40 principales, Cadena Cope or newspaper OkDiario. Juan Ignacio Solera, who founded the channel, has denied that this is happening.[5]
