Community Impact Although the podcast’s initial target audience were enthusiasts and <br />members of the Latin dance community in the Triangle region of North <br />Carolina (Orange, Durham, and W ake counties), our audience has <br />extended beyond our most optimistic expectations. To this date episodes <br />from our podcast have been downloaded more than 27,000 times all over <br />the world, including the United States, Portugal, Angola, Spain, Brazil, <br />France, Colombia, Germany, Mexico and South Africa. Of the 27,000 total <br />downloads, 16,000 came from downloads in the last year with the support <br />of OCAC funding. According to our podcast platform (Buzzprout), our <br />downloads come from North America (34%), Europe (31%), Africa (13%), <br />Latin America (12%), Asia (5%) and Oceania (1%). The podcast is <br />available to all people who have access to the Internet at no cost, which <br />means our content will remain as a free and longstanding resource to <br />individuals and communities who want to know about Afro-Latin rhythms, <br />their cultural inception, and their associated dances. Listeners can access <br />it fat our podcast hosting platform (Buzzprout) or YouTube, and they can <br />also access it through most streaming services including Spotify, Apple <br />Podcast and Google Podcast. The podcast is a long-standing resource that <br />maintains relevance over time for those who want to learn about Afro-Latin <br />Rhythms, Music, Dance, and Culture. Our episodes are also displayed on <br />the Resources tab of ‘The Institute for the Study of the Americas’ at UNC <br />under Podcasts on Latin America. One North Carolina based listener <br />recently commented on our social media saying "The podcast is super <br />insightful and educational. Definitely one of my fave discoveries." One <br />listener on Youtube commented on one of our reggaeton episodes saying: <br />"Another excellent breakdown again�������� Thank you guys for <br />keeping up with these!" Another youtube comment from a listener regarding <br />a bomba episode stated: "This was a very informative episode ad the <br />highlight of Don Pedro was very much appreciated. I’ve seen many videos <br />of Bomba (and Plena) and have been mildly curious of the history behind it <br />so the thorough amount of information on bomba here was great. Can’t wait <br />for the next episode." W hile not all listeners comment, the number of <br />downloads and comments indicate impact. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 2FC07ED8-3DBD-4058-89D0-CCBE9477632F
