Festa San Tuwwa: 10 Reasons To Be At Jon Mallia’s Podcast Celebration
This coming Friday the Jon Mallia Podcast will take over the gorgeous outdoor theatre at the Kazin Societa’ Filarmonica Maria Mater Gratiae in Żabbar.
“Gratitude! Gratitude! Gratitude!” said Jon Mallia when asked about what people are to expect from the event.
“Can’t wait to show the incredible people that support us the greatest time we possibly can!”
And if Jon’s promise to give you all a spectacular night weren’t enough, here are 10 more reasons why San Tuwwa is the place to be this coming Friday!
1. Over 100 of Malta’s most brilliant, colourful and controversial figures!
The podcast has delivered captivating content by giving a free-speech platform to some of Malta’s most wondrous thinkers, artists, activists, and athletes! Many of them will be at San Tuwwa to contribute to the rich and fascinating conversations that have become synonymous with Podcast events.
2. Over 50,000 comments…
A dedicated community has contributed to lively discussions and meaningful interactions online, leaving over 50,000 comments on our Facebook page alone. Get on down to San Tuwwa and continue to fuel that debate in person!
3. And the winner is…
The Jon Mallia Podcast was awarded the Best Podcast in 2022 and the Best Online Community in 2023 at the prestigious Lovin Malta Social Media Awards. Jon has also won the Dr Jacqueline Social Engagement Award 2023 from the University of Malta.
None of this would have been remotely viable without the contribution of the community which is the lifeblood of all the things San Tuwwa is set to celebrate this Friday!
4. Going against the grain
While the majority of content has been getting shorter and shorter, Jon and his team have gone and produced podcasts that stretch as long as nine hours!
The Podcast has racked up an impressive 1.7 million views and 38.5 million minutes of watch time on YouTube alone! The podcast also ranks among the top 5% most followed and shared podcasts on Spotify worldwide, connecting with listeners in over 40 countries.
5. A string of sold-out events
Previous podcast events, including the documentary premiere, engaging debate sessions at the Hungry Hippie, and debate retreats have consistently sold out. Every time a group of podcast supporters gets together, an incredible sense of belonging pervades the room. San Tuwwa promises to take this to an unprecedented height.
6. Two documentaries to date
The podcast has produced two documentaries to date. Last year, “Mela Tlaqna” captivated audiences at the Theater Next Door premier event.
This year, the much-anticipated premiere of “Mija fil-Mija… Mitt Ħaġa li tgħallimna minn mitt episodju” will take place at San Tuwwa. The documentary features the podcast team, an empty room with lots of nibbles…and four bottles of tequila.
7. Super Patreon community
The Jon Mallia Podcast boasts Malta’s largest Patreon community, with 1,500 dedicated members helping finance this groundbreaking project.
Not only is the Jon Mallia Patreon page the biggest in the country, but it’s also in the top 0.65% worldwide! Woah! If you’re a Patreon that has been supporting this paradigm-shifting movement, San Tuwwa is the only place you need to be this Friday!
8. Il-Każin
Il-Każin is an upcoming project which the team will be producing on GO Tokis in 2024. Curious? Come find out what Il-Każin is all about and how you can be a part of this amazing project as well!
9. A thriving sustainable enterprise with lofty social aims!
As the Jon Mallia Podcast continues to make an impact in the media sphere and far beyond, the Podcast’s dedicated team and community grow stronger, now encompassing a workforce of seven highly dedicated and talented individuals.
The Podcast gives its employees an opportunity to grow creatively while endowing them with a strong sense of social agency. Come meet the team that works tirelessly every week to deliver stellar content!
10. Championing Social Causes
From highlighting grave injustices in Malta’s justice system, the dire working conditions at Mater Dei, and horrifying stories of human trafficking, the Jon Mallia Podcast gives a voice to the voiceless.
The podcast has given a powerful platform to the likes of Puttinu Cares while helping to crowdfund the surgery that has given national rugby athlete Liam ‘Il-Babaw’ Scicluna a new lease on his career.
Festa San Tuwwa promises to be an evening filled with joy, appreciation and shared experiences.
This Friday join the podcast team to celebrate the remarkable achievements the podcast community has made together!
