reVolver Podcasts, a leading multicultural podcast network, has two Spanish-language programs named finalists in the 5th Annual Signal Awards, which honor excellence and innovation in podcasting. Erazno y La Chokolata is a finalist in the Genre – Comedy category, while Código Vital is recognized in Genre – Health & Wellness. The Signal Awards Judging Academy selected both shows from this year’s entries, placing them in contention for Bronze, Silver, or Gold honors. As finalists, they are also eligible for the 2026 Signal Listener’s Choice Award, an international competition decided by podcast audiences.
The recognition matters because it signals the growing cultural and commercial power of Spanish-language audio in the United States. With Latino audiences increasingly consuming on-demand content, reVolver Podcasts’ dual finalist nods demonstrate that culturally specific programming can compete at the highest levels of the industry. The network’s commitment to serving diverse interests—from comedy to health—reflects a broader shift in podcasting toward content that resonates with underrepresented communities.
Erazno y La Chokolata, created and hosted by Oswaldo Díaz, has entertained Spanish-speaking audiences for more than two decades through comedy, original characters, celebrity interviews, parodies, sports, and pop-culture commentary. Díaz’s vocal versatility and ability to transform everyday experiences into humor have made the program one of the most recognizable Spanish-language entertainment shows in the U.S. Its finalist selection in comedy highlights the enduring appeal of relatable, culturally grounded humor.
Código Vital, hosted by veteran journalist and communicator Daniela Ganoza, makes complex health information accessible to Spanish-speaking audiences. Through conversations with physicians, researchers, and specialists, the program explores functional medicine, prevention, longevity, metabolism, inflammation, hormones, cardiovascular health, biomarkers, and responsible biohacking with a science-based approach. Its recognition in health and wellness underscores the demand for credible, Spanish-language health content that empowers listeners to make better decisions.
“This recognition reflects the quality, range and cultural relevance of the programming we are building at reVolver Podcasts,” said Jack Hobbs, president of reVolver Podcasts. “Erazno y La Chokolata brings audiences together through comedy and unforgettable characters, while Código Vital provides Spanish-speaking listeners with credible and accessible information to help them make better decisions about their health. We are extremely proud of both teams and encourage their audiences to support them with their votes.”

The dual finalist selections also reflect reVolver Podcasts’ broader strategy to expand its reach. The network recently partnered with Claro USA to bring its catalog to Claro Música Pulso, an entertainment platform serving more than 500,000 subscribers. Its content is available free across major platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, Deezer, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, the reVolver Podcasts App via the Samsung Galaxy Store, Roku, and at www.revolverpodcasts.com.
For an industry often criticized for lacking diversity, these finalist honors are a reminder that Spanish-language podcasts are not niche—they are essential. As the Signal Awards recognize both comedy and health content from reVolver, the message is clear: multicultural audio is a driving force in podcasting’s future.
