Queridos Amigos,

El primer episodio de Radio Ambulante, Mudanzas, ya está disponible, desde hoy, en nuestro sitio web: radioambulante.org. Pronto lo encontrarán en iTunes, y posteriormente en algunas emisoras de radio que serán anunciadas en nuestra página web.

Por supuesto, que nos sentimos muy orgullosos, y esperamos que ustedes también lo estén, pues nada de esto sería posible sin su apoyo. Este es un proyecto para ustedes. Que lo disfruten!

Queridos Amigos:

Late last week, we made our goal. We're so excited, and so grateful for the support. We couldn't have done it without all of you. There are still a few days left in the campaign, and we're still reaching out to potential supporters, but mostly we're in the studios of KALW putting the finishing touches on the last pieces we'll be featuring in our first episode next month. Stay tuned, and most of all thank you for the support!

If you'd like to stay in touch, you can join our mailing list:

http://radioambulante.org/contact.html

El viernes de la semana pasada, llegamos a nuestra meta de US$40,000. Estamos muy contentos, y listos para producir las crónicas que tenemos planeadas. Estamos pasando horas en los estudios de KALW en San Francisco, terminando las crónicas de nuestro primer episodio. 

Estamos muy agradecidos por todo el apoyo. No hubiéramos llegado hasta aquí sin ustedes. Gracias! Permanezcan sintonizados!
