Radio Ambulante Studios is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit media organization dedicated to producing high-quality audio journalism that illuminates Latin America and US Latino communities. Founded in 2012, the studio has produced over 650 episodes across its flagship podcasts—Radio Ambulante, El Hilo, Central, and The Moment—covering topics such as migration, politics, youth culture, history, families, and social movements. The organization combines rigorous reporting, narrative storytelling, and expert sound design to provide audiences with nuanced perspectives on the region.
Radio Ambulante, the first podcast launched, has told stories from more than 20 countries and won multiple journalism awards, including the iHeartRadio Best Spanish Language Podcast and the Gabriel García Márquez Prize in Innovation. In 2020, the organization expanded with El Hilo, a news-focused podcast contextualizing key events in Latin America, and later projects like Central, exploring regional stories, and The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos, which offers intergenerational insights on politics, culture, and society.
Radio Ambulante Studios engages its audience through innovative initiatives like Clubes de Escucha and the Jiveworld language app, fostering community, conversation, and education. Funding comes from listeners, membership programs, philanthropic foundations, and strategic partnerships with media organizations, ensuring sustainability while maintaining independent, mission-driven journalism.
