Hey there!

I am Laura, and I have been working in Spanish-language podcasting for years.

My experience began by producing my own shows and figuring out what was needed along the way. Eventually, that interest turned into my profession. This means I have toiled in many areas of podcasting, from developing business models and figuring out audience growth to building teams and producing episodes.

I recently moved to New York City to attend CUNY's Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, where I have been reporting on Latinx and Latin American communities in the city.

MAKING podcasts

Around 2014, I became interested in creating podcasts. After listening to many shows (primarily produced in the US), I developed an uncontrollable curiosity to make one. And so, I went online, researched what I could, and started making stories. If you want to listen to my recent-ish work, I recommend checking out Cosas de Internet or Compartir no es delito.

 

In 2016, I launched Cosas de Internet, a podcast I still co-host that explores the impact of technology on our daily lives. Listen here. 

Compartir no es delito was the first piece of work I did for Radio Ambulante. In 2018, I pitched them as an independent producer, and the result was this story. Listen here.

In 2021, I worked on an episode of The Cultural Frontline podcast about art in Colombia. I did field production and dubbing. Listen here.

 
 

growing together

I have been involved in the launch of several independent shows, including DianaUribe.fm, one of the most listened-to podcasts in Colombia. Additionally, I was part of the Radio Ambulante Estudios team, where I contributed to the growth of Radio Ambulante and El hilo.
