ABSTRACT

Whether you’re a professional journalist, or an emerging one, this chapter will empower you to speak with more diverse audiences by way of bilingual audio production. This chapter explores the growth of Spanish-language radio and bilingual podcasting, and lends practical advice for creating your own content.

Explore a collection of existing bilingual podcasts, and learn from an in-depth case study of an innovative and collaborative bilingual program. Unlike traditional public radio models, podcasting gives journalists and content creators the freedom to create audio in various formats, without guidelines or parameters.

Remember, if your identity isn’t static, neither is your audience.
