Radio Ambulante is a Spanish-language podcast which publishes stories about Latin America. It is created primarily by the Peruvian writer Daniel Alarcón. The first three seasons were launched in 2012, and since 2016, Radio Ambulante has been distributed weekly by National Public Radio.[1][2]
NPR will distribute, market and promote Radio Ambulante on its website, through the NPR One app and on iTunes and other podcast platforms beginning with the program's season premiere Nov. 22. The formal announcement was preceded by an NPR marketing push for the show at the Third Coast International Audio Festival conference, with a network-sponsored happy hour Saturday in Chicago.
"Radio Ambulante," the Spanish-language radio show co-founded by novelist-journalist Daniel Alarcón, will be distributed by NPR, the public radio network announced this morning. The addition fits with NPR's slate of high-quality narrative journalism and gives the broadcaster an entreé to more than 50 million Spanish speakers living in the U.S., Anya Grundmann, NPR's vice president for programming and audience development said in a press release.
