One Minute Remaining teams up with Acast and Wondercraft to bring podcast to Spanish-speaking audiences using AI
One Minute Remaining, hosted by former Australian radio personality Jack Laurence, features interviews with incarcerated individuals in the US.
Since its launch in September 2022, the show has amassed over 4 million downloads. Recognising the potential to reach new audiences, Laurence embraced the idea of creating a Spanish-language version of his podcast.
“During a visit to the Acast offices in Sydney, Guy [Scott-Wilson, Acast Australia’s head of content] suggested exploring a Spanish version,” Laurence said. “While I was initially hesitant about AI in the creative space, the technology has proven incredible, allowing my show to be accessible to Spanish speakers while preserving my voice and creative vision.”
The Spanish-language version, Un Minuto Restante, is available now on all major podcast platforms.
