Radio Ambulante Estudios, Inc.

http://radioambulante.org/
Radio Ambulante is a podcast, distributed by National Public Radio (NPR), that tells Latin American stories from all Spanish-speaking countries, including the United States. It has more than 200 episodes produced in more than 20 countries. Its proposal is to bring the aesthetics of good written press reporting to the radio. Together with a talented community of radio reporters in different parts of the continent, they produce, distribute and exchange stories taking advantage of technological advances. In these years, Radio Ambulante has been recognized with several journalism awards, such as the Ondas Global Podcast Awards for the Career and Consolidation of Podcasts in Spain and Latin America (2023), iHeartRadio: Best Podcast in Spanish (2022), Gabriel García Márquez Journalism Award in the Innovation category (2014). In 2020, Radio Ambulante went from being a podcast to a production company called Radio Ambulante Studios and launched El Hilo, originally with Vice News. It is a weekly podcast that covers the most important news from Latin America and the Latin community in the United States. Every week, Eliezer Budasoff and Silvia Viñas speak with reporters and protagonists to delve into the stories that impact the region. In 2024 Radio Ambulante Studios launched Central, the series channel of Radio Ambulante Etudios, which combines the narrative potential and journalistic rigor of the Radio Ambulante and El thread teams to delve into stories that speak to an entire continent. Radio Ambulante Studios is a non-profit organization. Over the last decade, their work has been supported by: Ford Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Panta Rhea Foundation, Arnold Ventures, Sara and Evan Williams Foundation, Facebook Journalism Project, News Integrity Initiative, The Lenfest Foundation, The Miami Foundation, NewsMatch, Tinker Foundation, Flora Family Foundation, Heising-Simons Foundation and Open Societies Foundations. Radio Ambulante Studios, Radio Ambulante, El Hilo and Central podcasts are supported by listeners through the membership program Wanderers. Launched in 2019, this program has become a source of sustainability for the company and has helped strengthen the relationship with its community.
