Radio Ambulante Launches Website & Kickstarter Campaign
Hi everyone:
As many of you know, for the last year or so I’ve been working with a few partners on a new narrative project called Radio Ambulante. Our goal is to tell Latin American stories in sound, something like This American Life, but in Spanish, and transnational. Last year at this time, it was just an an idea. Today we have a network of radio producers all over Latin America and the US, and have begun production of our first three episodes.
We're really, really proud of what we've accomplished, and after all this work, we’re ready to share it with you. We’ve just launched a new website, including an audio sampler with some of our stories from Buenos Aires, Lima, New York, Barcelona and Santiago de Chile, and places in between. We're currently producing a dozen pieces from Honduras, Mexico, Colombia, Uruguay, Cuba, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and elsewhere. You can read more about the project, meet the team, and hear the stories by visiting:
And PLEASE, POR FAVOR! Consider donating to our Kickstarter campaign:

Here’s the situation: We have to raise $40,000 to get us through the next stage of the project. Every little bit helps. A dollar, ten dollars, seriously: SO APPRECIATED. We have fancy gifts (RA t-shirts, CDs, signed first editions of all my books), but these are just symbolic. Our gratitude goes so much deeper than that.
If you can't donate -- I know times are hard --- don't despair: you can still help! Please help spread the word. Twitter, Facebook. All those other social networks I know nothing about. And this is just as important, really: we believe that if folks visit the site, read about our project, hear the audio, and see our video, they'll get as excited about Radio Ambulante as we are.
Mil gracias!
Daniel
