**Summary**

Our audience has expanded exponentially, now exceeding 8,000 subscribers—more than ten times our initial reach. Additionally, we’ve witnessed a significant surge in watch hours and views. Over the past four months, our Podcast has enjoyed remarkable growth. But our aspirations reach higher: we aim to captivate 20,000 Spanish-speaking subscribers within the next six months. To achieve this, we’ll concentrate on all Dotcast branded products.
Dotcast’s product lineup is diverse, spanning various formats. We produce engaging Podcasts, conduct interviews with founders and core team members, create clips, shorts, and videos for special announcements. Our presence extends across multiple platforms, including X, YouTube, Spotify, Polkaverse, Medium, and Tik Tok.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between Polkadot and its users. We do so in a friendly, fun, and approachable manner, emphasizing that behind the cutting-edge technology lies a vibrant community. This community actively shapes the network’s destiny through every decision made.

**Our Approach: How will this be achieved?**
1.	Expert Editing: We’ll bring in skilled audio and video editor to elevate the quality of our channel and its offerings.
2.	Proven Strategies: Building on our recent successes, we’ll implement the growth tactics that yielded the best results.
