Radio Ambulante is a Spanish-language podcast that Peruvian Writer Daniel AlarcĂłn created in 2012. The radio station publishes Latin American stories.

Mission Statement for Radio Ambulante
The mission of Radio Ambulante is to bring an extensive and better understanding of Latin America and the United States. By providing listeners with a detailed portrayal of a complicated and crucially important region, audio journalism about Latinx communities provides well-told, meticulously documented, and professionally produced stories. The project aims to embrace different kinds of knowledge in linguistics. The radio collaborates with a great group of radio producers, writers, and illustrators to present stories not covered by other media sources since NPR distributes our work. With stories of love and migration, youth and politics, the environment, and families in unusual situations, Radio Ambulante covers Latin American life.
Ideal World Episode
I have chosen an episode from an ideal world. The episode talks about the metrics or frameworks that can be used to attest to the ideal nature of the world. It further illustrates the life of someone frustrated with the world who has yet to give up. The episode had six discussants, including the chief editor of Radio Ambulante, Nancy Lopez, Felipe Montez, Daniel Alarcon, Newscast 1, Newscast 2, and Newscast 3. According to the respondent, Felipe Montez, the world has set low standards for most people, making them look so useless in life. People sit at home doing nothing because no equity is created worldwide. Jobs are scary, but how one’s personality can put one on a growth and development trail matters. The episode provides a better-quality sound, and the graphics were also of high quality. The episode discusses the life of Felipe Montez. A personal reflection on the episode-ideal world, the world should be full of honesty, without corruption and hatred. There should not exist a sort of desperation among people. Encouragement of love, liberty, and harmony should be people’s anthem. All genders would be treated equally and with respect by society. The populace may have had a strong sense of spirituality regardless of caste or religion.
