The platform started with 40 original podcasts produced in Latin America, hosted by more than 50 talents from across the region and broadcast daily. The most popular so far are La Fantasmagórica, with Ignacio “El Fantasma” Suárez; Biblioteca Fútbol, with Alberto Lati; Mother Soccer, with Raúl Orvañanos; Miguel Gurwitz, Andrés Ortiz and Rodolfo Landeros; Futvox Club with “Russo” Brailovsky and André Marín; FutBet, with Joshua Maya and Luis Silva, and Futvox Today.

Since August it is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Podcast, Google Podcast, SoundCloud, IHeart Radio, Podcast Addict, Ivoox, TuneIn, Audible, Stitcher, and CastBox, among others.

Futvox has enough programming to have 25 daily 15-minute shows hosted by Latin American analysts, coaches, referees, and former players. Martínez announced that he is in full negotiations to add brands as content advertisers, which will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
