NEW PODCAST ALERT: Muy Excited with Maria Garcia
06/08/2026 | 32 min
Maria was watching the Benito Bowl when an unexpected artist came on: the one and only Ricky Martin. He sang one of Bad Bunny’s most political, anti-colonial anthems. Maria knew this was a touchstone moment — the artist who most represented the 90’s Latin Boom wasn’t performing to a white audience for recognition or acceptance; he was singing a song of resistance, in Spanish. And then Maria’s 11-year-old son said, “Who’s that???”

Today, Maria revisits the importance of Ricky Martin’s career and life, and how he had to live “La vida loca” so that Bad Bunny could do “Lo que le da la gana.”

The First Time The Men’s World Cup Came to the U.S.A.
29/05/2026 | 27 min
The Men’s World Cup is coming to our continent – and to this country. So we’re using this huge event to dive deep into what soccer means in the United States with a new podcast called “American Futbol.” We hear from immigrants all across the country for whom soccer is a touchstone, but who’ve also woven the sport into American culture and life. And we go back to the 90’s, to the very first time the World Cup came to the United States. There was Oprah, there was O.J., and it changed soccer in the U.S. forever.

Follow American Futbol and listen to new episodes every Wednesday.

TRAILER DROP: Our Thing — The Birth of Salsa in Nueva York (hosted by Rosie Perez)
15/05/2026 | 2 min
A new podcast from Futuro is coming to you soon!
In 1964, an Italian-American ex-cop and a Dominican musician in New York City opened “the Motown of Salsa,” Fania Records. Artists like Héctor Lavoe, Willie Colón, Celia Cruz and La Lupe made the label hip, rebellious, sexy and political all at once. At their height, Fania toured the world, sold millions of records and changed culture forever. But as the label grew, Fania Records became mired by legendary falling-outs. In the most comprehensive audio narrative yet, Pulitzer Prize winning Futuro Studios and Oscar and Emmy-nominated actress Rosie Perez, tell the story of a generation of artists who created salsa music, a cultural legacy that continues to shape the world today.
Listen to Our Thing, The Birth of Salsa in Nueva York starting on May 26!
