Agushto Papá, Juancito & Jess Judith Talk Impact of Podcasters in Music at Latin Music Week 2026

At Latin Music Week 2026, podcasters Agushto Papá, Juancito and Jess Judith discussed how podcasts help connect music fans with artists and can add value to an artist’s promotion. They said longer conversations let audiences get to know artists more deeply, while podcasters need a clear strategy to stand out amid a crowded stream of content.

Judith, a Dominican influencer with a marketing background, said her interest in music grew into work. Venezuelan host Juancito started developing interview ideas while working in Uber and construction; seven years later, his show Desde Cero has a Miami residency with a live audience. Agushto Papá’s three members turned to podcasting after limited success as a sierreño group, aiming to cover Mexican music artists who were reaching the charts but receiving little attention.
