iHeartMedia and Radio Ambulante Studios have announced the launch of a new podcast, “The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos.” The series will debut on September 17, 2025, as part of My Cultura, iHeartMedia’s podcast network focused on Latino voices and stories.
Jorge Ramos, an Emmy-award winning journalist known for his reporting style, will co-host the show with his daughter Paola Ramos, an author and MSNBC contributor. The father-daughter team plans to hold conversations with politicians, artists, activists, journalists and other notable guests. This season’s lineup includes Zohran Mamdani, John Leguizamo, Anthony Romero from the American Civil Liberties Union, V Spehar (@UnderTheDeskNews), Chilean-American writer Isabel Allende and others.
“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.”
This project marks Jorge Ramos’ entry into podcasting after leaving television news anchoring. Paola Ramos brings her experience from journalism and political 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,” said Paola Ramos. “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. I can’t think of a better team to be doing this with.”
The collaboration between iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Podcast Network and Radio Ambulante Studios expands their creative partnership established through a multi-show coproduction deal in 2024. Radio Ambulante Studios’ flagship Spanish language podcast will also return for its fifteenth season at the end of September.
“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.”
“Collaborating with Jorge and Paola on ‘The Moment’ is an exciting milestone for the network,” said Leo Gomez head of iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Podcast Network. “‘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.”
My Cultura Podcast Network launched in May 2021 alongside Enrique Santos—iHeartMedia’s top-rated personality—and has since grown steadily in listenership while offering over 60 podcasts including titles such as “Chiquis and Chill,” “Princess of South Beach,” “Wrestling with Freddie” among others. In June during its fourth anniversary Eva Longoria’s Hyphenate Media Group joined Wilmer Valderrama as stakeholders.
Episodes will premiere weekly on major platforms including iHeartRadio app starting September 17; video versions can also be found on Jorge Ramos’ YouTube Channel.
