At PARIX Audio Day 2026 in Madrid on 19 February 2026, the creators of AudioGen, Punto de Escucha and Comunicando Audio discuss how specialised newsletters are becoming influential resources for the Spanish-language audio industry. Each publication serves a distinct editorial purpose while building a direct relationship with readers outside algorithmic platforms.
Jorge Heili describes AudioGen as a concise weekly briefing connecting Spain and Latin America. It analyses radio, podcasting and audiobooks for industry decision-makers, selecting only the information judged most useful. Andrea Morán’s Punto de Escucha instead combines critical curation, creator interviews and behind-the-scenes analysis of narrative podcasts.
José Antonio Gelado explains how Comunicando Audio evolved from supporting his podcast into a broader source covering analysis, strategy, promotion, distribution, employment and industry recommendations. Together, the newsletters demonstrate that authority depends less on scale than on a recognisable editorial voice, consistent selection and the trust of a clearly defined community.
The panel also considers monetisation through sponsorships, consulting, professional opportunities and complementary audio editions. AI may assist research and production, but personal judgement and authorial voice remain their principal differentiators. In an overloaded information environment, newsletters create value by filtering knowledge and turning subscribers from passive consumers into informed participants.
