Jordi Wild, one of the undisputed stars of the podcastfera in Spanish, has won a wave In recognition of his career. Of course, Wild is not the first successful podcaster, born completely in the Internet sphere, self -produced outside the radio tradition, which wins the prize. But it is the first that has taken as references to iconic Anglo -Saxon names of the environment and has adapted them to its own style and very well, controversies included.
Therefore, that waves is more than recognition of unquestionable success: it is also corroboration by the STABLISHMENT of the radio of one of the most peculiar personalities of the environment.
Jordi Wild’s meteoric ascent. The YouTuber and Podcasts created its YouTube channel ‘in 2013The Rincón de Giorgio‘, which initially focused on a derivative and usual content by the time: gameplaysreaction and parodies videos. Soon he began to enter other issues, such as current debates and issues related to criminal psychology. In 2020 He started his podcast ‘The Wild Project‘. Although it is a bit complicated to calibrate its reach, On YouTube It approaches the 7 million subscribers, more almost 90,000 in podimo. His possible millions of listeners make him one of the most influential and followed podcasts in Spanish.
Joe Rogan’s shadow. Jordi Wild has several times that One of its greatest influences To create and develop The Wild Project is Joe Rogan and his podcast ‘The Joe Rogan Experience‘. It was he who inspired him in the search for a format of long, deep interviews and without censorshipwhere the guest is the protagonist and all kinds of topics are addressed, not necessarily linked to its knowledge area. Other influences that Wild has cited in its programs, notoriously always American, are Howard Stern, David Letterman or Johnny Carson, of which he values his ability to face all kinds of guests.
Podcasts in the waves. Since 2016 the podcasts have a presence in the waves, the awards to the media, programs and those responsible that since 1954 delivers the SER. That year The award for the best program, radio or radio online broadcast platform was given to Podium Podcast (hurry owned). Since then, programs such as ‘Xrey’, ‘Weekly deform’, ‘stretching the gum’, ‘Titania’ or ‘La Ruina’ this year have been awarded.
But in addition, podcasts began to be specifically rewarded in Podcast Global Wave Wave Awards From 2022, an initiative in collaboration with Spotify to recognize and give visibility to the podcast industry in Spanish. The first delivery gala was held in May 2022 in Malaga. It is in this context that Jordi Wild has received a Special Recognition Prize for his career.
Opening of sights. In this way, the waves open the door to a completely Anglo -Saxon style of influence, without equivalents in Spain at the level of success and scope, and that distances themselves from the winners so far, which enter into fields (audioficctions, humor and conversational, sound trials) that have always been present on the radio. The in -depth and uncensored interview style that Wild represents is Pure Podcasta land where There are no time limits and the programs They do not have thematic clippers and of format that does have traditional radio.
The bleaching of Giorgio. But Jordi Wild’s program is not devoid of controversy, and has received abundant criticism, especially for the freedom of expression he presumes, and that has earned him criticism of both conservative and progressive sectors. He has been accused of giving voice to characters of controversial ideologies, which has generated debates about whether your whitish space extreme right speeches or spread Fake News under the appearance of open debate. Wild has always defended his decision to invite people of all ideologies and reject any attempt of external censorship or pressure.
Some of his guests have given him controversies who have had a deep impact on his image, as was the Presence of former Villarejo Commissioner or the recent presence of A lifeguard Tiktoker which presumed to attract bathers to dangerous areas to get the hero.
What waves wants. And this controversial image is the one that waves have rewarded, because it is what is most distant from the traditional radio. The search for the cut that is viralized in networks is what distance to programs such as The Wild Project of traditional radio, and it is what makes this prize especially relevant: the waves give visibility to a typology of podcast that until now had not had official recognition for being especially controversial and controversial.
Podcast awards. In general, the prizes of the mainstream (In any field of creation) to their representatives less pigeonholed by traditional formats they usually reach the wrong (that’s why Jordi Wild receives an award for his career: he has been working for years: his style has been working for years). But they are always a sign that something moves within the traditional mass media: we cannot expect them to recognize the avant -garde, but it is still a warning that at least they are looking in the same direction as the public and the creators who carry the lead.
