Imagination, alternative worlds and reality-defying stories reach the U.S. Hispanic community with Colectivero, the new podcast from Nueva Network and QuéOnnda. HERE you can listen to the podcast.
This project gathers fantasy and science fiction stories originally written in Spanish, offering a unique space for writers and readers of the genre.

The Colectivero podcast was born after the call launched in January 2024, which invited emerging authors to share their creations on the Colectivero website.
Since then, more than 50 writers have been published, along with illustrators from around the world.
What makes Colectivero a special project is that it became the first Mexican science fiction and fantasy magazine that financially compensates all its contributors.
It set a precedent in the genre and strengthened a creative community that rarely receives retribution for its work.
Stories that come to life in audio
In addition to its publication in physical and digital anthologies, Colectivero’s stories are narrated in podcast format, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in fantastic worlds from any device.
So far, episodes have been published such as:
All the names of Juan Rulfo (Hiram De La Peña)
Anomia (Luviana Re)
Lullaby for tigers in captivity (Liliana López)
Mom’s stick (Trudy Pocoví)
False negative (Oscar González)
Interview with Damián Neri
A repressed silence (Mical García)
Interview with Mical García
Each installment combines the voice of narrators with a careful production that transports the listener to universes full of mystery, technology, fantastic creatures and reflections on the human condition.
A cultural bridge for Hispanics in the U.S.
Buzzy
With this proposal, Nueva Network and QuéOnnda seek to bring Latino audiences in the United States closer to the richness of fantasy literature written in their language.
Both companies have other titles such as Alquimia Interior and Casos del Crimen con El Sargento.
For many Hispanics, Colectivero represents the opportunity to listen to stories that reflect their culture and worldview, in contrast to the Anglo-Saxon predominance of the genre in the global market.
Colectivero is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and all digital platforms, and each week adds new stories and author interviews.
Más que un podcast, Colectivero es un proyecto colectivo que demuestra cómo la creatividad hispana puede conquistar espacios de fantasía y ciencia ficción, abriendo camino a nuevas voces literarias en el mundo
