ABS-CBN forays into the world of podcasting with 19 original shows including “Dear MOR: The Podcast,” one of the most popular podcasts on Spotify Philippines.

The media company has produced a wide array of audio content in recent years, garnering over 7.5 million total all-time plays, and will be launching more podcasts soon including one for the daytime talk show “Magandang Buhay.”

ABS-CBN head of digital Jamie Lopez said the company will continue to grow its podcast business as part of their game plan of telling the most meaningful stories to as many people as possible.

“We will go wherever our audiences go. We recognize that podcasting is another way for us to reach and serve more people, and we are committed to maximize this new opportunity to use ABS-CBN’s content expertise to bring light and joy to the world,” he said.

One of ABS-CBN’s existing shows, Jeepney TV’s “Before They Were Stars: The Podcast,” has begun its second season on Spotify and Apple Podcast with host Jhai Ho.
