BUNK Collective makes it easier for you to get access to dozens of diverse podcasts.
In recent years, the world has become a more mobile place. People are always on the go and rarely settle down for long periods of time. This change in lifestyle has also affected how people consume media. Before people would sit down in front of the TV for hours. But now, people want content that can be easily accessible and consumed. This has then led to the rise of podcasts, a form of audio-based content that is fast becoming very popular among Filipinos.
The Popularity of Podcasts
A study done by YouGov and Spotify last year found that 85% of Filipinos listen to music or podcasts every day. So, many Filipinos are starting their own podcasts from celebrities, YouTubers, and just about anyone, really. The growth in the local podcast industry has led to the start of a new community that will house both popular and up-and-coming podcasts in the country.
BUNK Collective, which gets its name from Bangkal, Makati, the artist mecca of Metro Manila, describes itself as not only a curated community and network of podcasts, but also as a movement—one where listeners get to listen to and discover a variety of shows from a diverse group of creators, and where podcasters will have the resources and support to build and grow their podcasts. A testament to their growth and reception of podcasts in the Philippines, BUNK Collective is set to launch with over 23 podcasts from 38 podcasters.
