PodX Group, a company committed to investing in international podcast companies and IP rights, proudly announces its first investment in Latin America through the acquisition of a majority stake in Posta, Argentina’s leading podcast production company.
The step further consolidates PodX Group as one of the biggest players in the global podcasting market. PodX has previously announced investments in French podcast studio Nouvelles Écoutes and British audio fiction company Goldhawk Productions. As the first podcast production company to be founded in Argentina, Posta is a pioneer in the Latin American podcast scene. Since its establishment in 2014, they have produced more than 150 shows, reaching millions of listeners, not just in its native country but also in Mexico, Brazil, United States and Spain.

Posta’s mission is to create the best audio content for Spanish-speaking markets. Following PodX’s investment, their plan is to combine strengths in order to:
- Continue developing original fiction and non-fiction narrative podcasts and explore opportunities in adapting them to other media.
- Further consolidate its successful branded podcasts revenue stream.
- Expand their reach, audience and influence in the Latin American and U.S. Hispanics markets.
