Deddy Corbuzier Ready to Revive the Ministry of Defense Podcast That Has Been Dead for 3 Years, Here's the Plan

Kapanlagi.com - After being halted for three years, the official podcast of the Ministry of Defense (Kemhan) is ready to rise again! Deddy Corbuzier, a public figure who now serves as Special Staff to the Minister of Defense for Social and Public Communication, has announced his plan to take over and develop this podcast to make it more interesting and relevant, especially for the younger generation.

The previous Kemhan podcast could be found on the YouTube platform through the official account @kemhan, but unfortunately, its content has been stagnant for the past three years. Deddy sees this moment as a golden opportunity to leverage digital media to disseminate information about defense and the military industry in a more interactive and engaging way.

However, this significant step certainly raises many questions: How far can Deddy Corbuzier transform the Kemhan podcast into an effective educational platform? What strategies will be implemented to attract the attention of the wider community? Summarized by Kapanlagi.com from various sources on Thursday (27/2/2025).

1. Reasons Deddy Corbuzier Took Over the Ministry of Defense Podcast

Deddy Corbuzier observed that the public's interest, especially among the younger generation, in information related to defense and military is still relatively low. To change this perception, Deddy is determined to present more modern and engaging educational content.

"In the Ministry of Defense, there is a podcast, in the TNI there is a podcast, but the reach is not very large. Later, we will have our team collaborate with the existing podcast in the Ministry of Defense," said Deddy on Wednesday (26/2/205), as quoted by ANTARA.

As a successful content creator with over 40 YouTube channels, Deddy believes that podcasts can be a powerful communication tool. With his experience and extensive network in the digital world, he is optimistic that the Ministry of Defense podcast will be able to attract more listeners and become a more interactive defense education media.

2. Ministry of Defense Podcast Development Strategy

To ensure that this podcast can grow, Deddy plans to implement several strategies, including:

1. Presenting a More Engaging Format

Instead of merely presenting serious discussions about defense, Deddy wants to package the podcast in a more engaging format. This could include a talk show model, light discussions with military figures, or even collaborations with other public figures.

2. Partnering with Influencers and Public Figures

Deddy stated that in addition to relying on podcast media, he will also collaborate with celebrities, influencers, as well as military and defense industry figures to contribute to the content.

"I am proud of Indonesia. However, if our future generations are more proud of foreign products and do not understand Indonesian products, if the entertainment is still foreign, and the products are still foreign, then we will continue to depend on the outside," said Deddy.

By involving public figures who have influence among the youth, Deddy hopes to introduce defense issues in a broader and more interesting way.

3. Maximizing Technology and Digital Media

As an experienced content creator, Deddy plans to utilize digital platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and other social media so that the Ministry of Defense podcast can reach a wider audience.

3. Challenges in Developing the Ministry of Defense Podcast

Despite having extensive experience in the world of podcasts and digital media, Deddy still faces several challenges in running this project.

1. Lack of Interest Among Youth in Defense Issues

One of the biggest obstacles is how to make defense topics appealing to the younger generation. So far, issues related to the military and defense are often considered too serious and distant from their daily lives.

2. Adaptation to Government Bureaucracy

As part of the Ministry of Defense, this podcast must still adhere to the applicable rules and regulations. Unlike his Close The Door podcast, which is free from government interference, this project requires coordination with various parties within the Ministry of Defense structure.

3. Competition with Other Digital Content

In today's digital era, audience attention is highly fragmented. The Ministry of Defense podcast must be able to compete with various other entertainment content on the internet to avoid being overshadowed.

4. What Are the Impacts for the Ministry of Defense and Society?

If this strategy is successful, the Ministry of Defense's podcast could have a positive impact on the Ministry of Defense and the wider community, particularly in terms of:

1. Increasing Public Awareness of Defense Issues

This podcast could serve as a bridge to introduce defense issues to the public in a lighter and more understandable way.

2. Attracting Young People to the Military and Defense World

With a more modern approach, Deddy hopes this podcast can instill a sense of pride in the domestic defense industry and encourage the younger generation to better understand and engage with it.

3. Enhancing the Reputation of the Ministry of Defense in Digital Media

Currently, ministries and government agencies are becoming increasingly active in digital media. With this podcast, the Ministry of Defense can build an image that is closer to the community and not outdated.
