Oronda Studio, one of Mexico’s most successful podcast studios, is joining the Stockholm based PodX Group.
Founded in 2021, Oronda Studio has quickly become one of Latin America’s foremost podcast creators, known for its audio-first storytelling and expertise in video podcasts.
The studio has collaborated with Wondery, Spotify, Universal Music, and Universal Pictures, creating chart-topping shows and content for diverse audiences and brands.
One of their most notable achievements was winning the Premio Gabo, the most prestigious journalism award for Portuguese and Spanish-speaking countries, for their audio documentary “Las mujeres valientes: Guii Chanaa” (The Brave Women), co-created with Nayelli Lopez Reyes, an indigenous woman from Oaxaca.
Patrick Svensk, Co-Founder and CEO, PodX Group said: “We are thrilled to welcome Oronda Studio to PodX Group.
“Oronda’s team, their commitment and innovative storytelling, perfectly align with our mission to nurture creative excellence on a global scale.
“I am convinced that Oronda, together with PodX’s award winning Argentinian company Posta, will continue to lead the creative development in the Latin American podcast industry and beyond.”
This is the second Latin American company to join the group. PodX Group has made a number of acquisitions in the podcast industry, such as Posta in Argentina, Studio Minuit and Nouvelles Écoutes in France, Filt, Perfect Day and Suomen Podcastmedia in the Nordics and Goldhawk Productions, Listen and Platform Media in the UK.
Manuela Walfenzao, Founder and CEO, Oronda Studio said: “I’m thrilled to be part of this group. We’re eager to continue growing, diversifying the podcast industry, and expanding our own productions.
“We’re passionate about the format, and we believe there are still many opportunities for growth and innovation in Mexico. PodX is the perfect partner to make this happen.
“Although we’re a small team, there’s a lot of diversity in our company. We come from different parts of Latin America, and many of our shows and projects are led by women, which we are very proud of.”
