As one of the top podcasts on Spotify, La Cotorrisa holds the 15th spot in terms of all-time streams and boasts a massive online following. The podcast has attracted over three million followers on Instagram, with millions more tuning in via YouTube and TikTok. Since its debut in 2019, it has become a major cultural phenomenon and remains a leading podcast throughout Latin America.
