On Wednesday, Spotify brought together Mexico's vibrant podcast community for a night to remember: the first-ever Spotify Podcast Awards. The ceremony gathered more than 300 industry guests and nearly 200 top fans of nominated shows, making it a milestone moment for creators, listeners, and the country's booming audio scene.
Lupita Villalobos and Kass Quezada, the fan-favorite duo behind Las Alucines, served as hosts, keeping the crowd entertained with their signature wit and spontaneous style.

But it wasn't just about the creators-this was a celebration of the listeners, too. Nearly 8 million votes were cast by fans in the lead-up to the show, and hundreds were there in person to cheer on their favorites, proving once again that podcasts are all about community.
