Our Purpose

Reaching over 10 million people annually, we lead in dual-language podcasting and authentic storytelling that drives narrative change. We’re home to Latino USA, the longest-running Latino news and culture program on public radio. We also produce award-winning work through Futuro Studios and Futuro Investigates. Our diverse staff reflects the communities we serve. Apple Podcasts declared our podcast series Suave one of the top twenty podcasts of the past twenty years.

Illustrator Iliana Galvez (@growmija) takes us inside the making of the Futuro+ logo and what inspired her—from banana leaves and artisan tiles you see in your abuelita’s kitchen to the mountains of El Salvador.

Iliana reflects on how storytelling lives at the heart of her family, passed down through generations. For her, Futuro+ is a space to preserve and share those stories so they continue to grow, evolve, and live on.

✨🚨🚨🚨 SEASON 2 ALERT 🚨🚨🚨✨

the stars have spoken… @starsandstarswithisa is back 🌌

This is @isanaka in her own words:

“this show is my prayer + love letter — to all the stargazers who know the sky is not only above us, but within us. the same stars we trace overhead burn just as brightly in our stories, our bodies, our lineages.

i am ecstatic to return for season two, bringing more conversations, insight, and cosmic wonder with some of your favorite artists, musicians, and creators. 🌠 my intention for this show has always been to cultivate a community of people who dare to live their questions, engage fully in the search for meaning, and nurture the wise celestial intelligence alive within us all. in these times of compounding crises, i hope it offers a space for reckoning, joy, & shared wrestling with both the big and small — uncovering, again and again, our tenacity and depth.”

Produced by @futuromedia + @siriusxm. deep gratitude to my team and to all of you for listening, learning, and dreaming with me. the journey continues.”

We are thrilled that #SuavePodcast is the September Series Essential on @applepodcasts!

Suave tells the story of what happens when your whole world is a prison cell, and you suddenly get a second chance at life. It’s the story of one man’s incarceration and redemption and an unusual relationship between a journalist and a source.

This week on Aquí Entre Nos, our exclusive bonus content, @penileyramirez invites a special guest to get the dirt on @maria_la_hinojosa ’s relationship to reality TV, Maria’s daughter Yurema.

Together, they explore the generational divide around watching reality TV, the role that popcorn plays in their relationship, and the shows that Maria never thought she’d get into watching.

Public media is being defunded.

While we do not receive any federal funding to produce our reporting, the threats to our reporting are still very real. There are still many uncertainties as the Trump administration continues to try to silence independent voices that inform the public.

How are we tackling this? Our reporting airs on nearly 400 public radio stations across the U.S. and Canada, and available on all major podcast platforms. We’re staying strong through new partnerships, like our recent one with @myculturapodcasts, and by continuing to report fearlessly and independently.

But we rely on our community. We rely on you.
