 iHeartMedia and Radio Ambulante Studios |
iHeartMedia and Radio Ambulante Studios (RAS), a Spanish-language podcast production company, have announced a deal that will bring "Radio Ambulante" and its full slate of shows to iHeart's My Cultura Podcast Network. As part of the partnership, Radio Ambulante Studios' flagship podcast "Radio Ambulante" along with its weekly news show "El Hilo" and its anthology docuseries "Central" will now be distributed by iHeartPodcasts as part of My Cultura, iHeartMedia's podcast network.
Under the new partnership, the two companies will also develop and co-produce a minimum of two new shows over the next two years.
Celebrating the launch of its 14th season today, "Radio Ambulante" has covered stories of love and migration, of youth and politics, of the environment and families in extraordinary circumstances across Latin America, sharing with listeners more than 260 episodes produced in more than 20 countries. For the past eight years Radio Ambulante was distributed by NPR.
"We couldn't be more excited about this new stage in the development of Radio Ambulante Studios," said RAS Executive Producer and host, Daniel Alarcon. "iHeart and My Cultura will put our three podcasts in front of potentially enormous audiences and allow our journalism to have an even greater impact for Latino and Spanish-speaking audiences everywhere."
"We are so honored to embark on this new journey with Radio Ambulante Studios," added iHeartMedia Head of My Cultura Gisselle Bances. "They have created remarkable, top-quality Spanish content that time-and-time again delivers such remarkable stories, allowing our community to learn more about Latin America. We are excited to join forces and help expand the reach of these stores, and others, through the My Cultura Podcast Network."
The Radio Ambulante slate and all shows on The My Cultura Podcast Network are distributed by iHeartPodcasts, with all shows available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.
