Pero hay acontecimientos e historias que no pueden contarse en un solo episodio. Para eso está Central, el canal de series de Radio Ambulante Studios.
Nuestra segunda temporada, "El péndulo", es una serie de podcast que combina el talento y la trayectoria de Radio Ambulante Studios y Noticias Telemundo para ofrecer una cobertura y un análisis precisos, profundos y veraces sobre el papel del voto latino en las próximas elecciones presidenciales en Estados Unidos.
Presentados por Julio Vaqueiro, conductor del noticiero Noticias Telemundo, los seis episodios de "El péndulo" se enfocan en las vidas y expectativas de los latinos en Pennsylvania, Nevada, Florida, Arizona y Carolina del Norte. Cada entrega ahonda en temas, como la economía, los derechos reproductivos, la migración, la religión y el derecho a voto, que marcan la agenda electoral en el contexto local, y los conecta con el panorama nacional. ¿Podría decidir la participación latina en los "swing states" la contienda entre Kamala Harris y Donald Trump?
Escucha "El péndulo" todos los jueves a partir del 3 de octubre de 2024.
