Jorge Ramos Returns To Journalism With First Podcast, Co-Hosted By Daughter Paola.

Jorge Ramos, one of the most recognizable Hispanic journalists in the U.S., is launching a new interview podcast via My Cultura, iHeartMedia’s podcast network dedicated to elevating Latino voices and stories, and Radio Ambulante. The weekly interview series called The Moment will feature Ramos partnering with author and MSNBC contributor Paola Ramos for a show that will be the first-ever podcast and co-hosted video series for the father-daughter duo.

The Moment is described as a multigenerational conversation. Together, the duo will sit down with politicians, artists, activists, journalists and other top thinkers to tackle the issues of today with raw, unfiltered conversations and a distinctly Latino point of view.

“Not only am I going back to the news, but this is an incredible opportunity to work for the first time in English and with my daughter Paola,” said Jorge Ramos. “Few people know that we talk almost every single day over the phone about the news of the day. And now iHeartMedia’s My Cultura and Radio Ambulante Studios are helping to make our intergenerational conversations public, and I’ll always be grateful. With this podcast, we want to be the space where people go whenever they have something important to say about the Latino community.” 

The new series will mark Jorge Ramos’ debut in the podcasting space and return to reporting following his departure from being a television news anchor. He spent four decades at Univision, hosting its evening newscast “Noticiero Univision” and its Sunday show “Al Punto” until exiting the network last year when after his contract was not renewed. Known worldwide for his fearless reporting style, the podcast producers say Ramos will bring even more edge, curiosity and unfiltered perspectives into his new format.

Alongside her dad, Paola will bring the show a fresh, modern voice informed by her journalism and political background, having served on campaigns for Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama.

“I’m looking forward to working in this new medium, which will allow us to have the type of in-depth conversations many people are yearning for today,” she said. “Whether it’s making sense of the state of politics, talking to artists or exposing new voices, our hope is for The Moment to become a thought-provoking, intimate space that fosters understanding and curiosity in the midst of a highly polarized landscape.”

Guests this season will include Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani; actor, producer, comedian and activist John Leguizamo; lawyer and Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union, Anthony Romero; internet personality, award-winning journalist and podcaster, V Spehar; Chilean-American writer and novelist, Isabel Allende; and others.

“Collaborating with Jorge and Paola on The Moment is an exciting milestone for the network,” said My Cultura head Leo Gomez. “‘It embodies what we strive to do every day — deliver bold, authentic storytelling that reflects the richness and complexity of Latino life. Together with Radio Ambulante Studios, we’re delivering conversations that will inform, inspire and connect.”

The first episode of The Moment will premiere Sept. 17, with new episodes released weekly. Video episodes will also be available on Jorge Ramos’ YouTube Channel.

The launch of The Moment will expand the creative partnership between iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Podcast Network and Radio Ambulante Studios, which announced a multi-show coproduction deal in 2024.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with Paola and Jorge, two journalists whose work we’ve admired for a long time,” said Radio Ambulante Studios CEO Carolina Guerrero. “A partnership like this one, which leverages the editorial strength of Radio Ambulante Studios, the expertise of iHeart, and the uncompromising talent of our hosts, will allow us to reach enormous Latino audiences with a take on the news they won’t find anywhere else.”

Meantime, Radio Ambulante Studios flagship Spanish-language podcast, Radio Ambulante, will return for its 15th season at the end of September.
