The 30 Best Spotify Podcasts to Listen to in 2021
Table of Contents
Podcasts emerged around the 2000s in the United States, but they really established themselves at the end of the first decade and became very popular here in Brazil. Very similar to radio programs, they gained prominence for being an option for those who prefer to hear about their favorite subjects at any time of the day and on the frequency they think is best - the famous on demand —rather than sticking to a time (and places where sync with the radio signal is good).
In today's selection, we've separated the 30 best podcasts from Spotify. The platform, which is the most listened to according to 2019 Research Pod – ABPOD CBN (the largest research instrument on topics related to podcasts in Brazil), it has a large and diverse selection of topics in podcasts, in addition to having a playlist with the best programs on its platform. And, of course, it also indicates selections according to the algorithm of each subscriber.
