Dubai PodFest 2023 Launches Comedy-Travel Podcast, Introduces Arab Support Platform

Dubai PodFest 2023, the region's premier podcasting event, has launched Droob Areeka, a comedy-travel podcast, and introduced Insaat, the first Arab digital platform supporting podcasters. Luca Allam, co-founder of Insaat, stressed the platform's role in helping podcasters monetize content and deliver locally relevant material.

Dubai PodFest 2023, held under the patronage of Dubai's Media Office, has further cemented Dubai's status as a digital media hub. The event introduced Insaat, a platform dedicated to empowering Arab podcasters. Insaat, co-founded by Luca Allam and Hikmat Wehbi, offers technical tools, production support, marketing assistance, professional training, and collaboration opportunities with brands.

The festival also launched Droob Areeka, a comedy-travel podcast produced by Ghmza Entertainment. Hosted by Bibi Al-Abdulmohsen and Talal Sam, and directed by Abdullah AlThamer, the podcast will consist of 12 episodes in its first season. The show will embark on a 30-day road trip across the six GCC states, with filming starting in October.

Dubai PodFest 2023 has once again demonstrated its commitment to fostering creativity and cultural exploration in the Arab podcasting landscape. With the launch of Droob Areeka and the introduction of Insaat, the event has provided new platforms for Arab creators to share their voices and reach global audiences.
