| 0:00.0 | Wepa, Alana here. |
| 0:02.4 | As you know, we're putting the final touches on La Brega season three. |
| 0:06.7 | It'll be in your headphones soon. |
| 0:08.4 | We're really excited about this, because there was a time when it looked like La Brega was a victim of some pretty tough times in podcasting and in journalism generally. |
| 0:18.1 | And it seemed like after two seasons, this show was done. But Futuro Media |
| 0:23.3 | stepped in and made an investment in La Brega and secured funding for our team to keep going and |
| 0:29.5 | report more stories. So I wanted to take a couple of minutes and tell you about a campaign they've |
| 0:34.8 | got right now that needs your support. Futuro media is a small but mighty, totally independent nonprofit newsroom. |
| 0:43.2 | And this year, they're celebrating 15 years of making shows that resonate with listeners |
| 0:47.4 | like us. |
| 0:48.4 | Shows like La Brega, anything for Selena, Suave, My Divo, The Last Cup, Latino USA, and many, many more. |
| 0:55.9 | It's an impressive record to celebrate, and they've launched a campaign this giving Tuesday to |
| 1:00.6 | raise $150,000. |
| 1:03.6 | Futuro is looking for 100 new donors before the end of the year. |
| 1:07.4 | And if you give before the end of the year, your gift will be doubled by newsmatch. So if you give |
| 1:13.0 | $10, Futuro will get 20. If you give 50, they'll get 100. You can give at Futuromediagroup.org |
| 1:20.7 | slash donate. Your support makes it possible for us to keep growing, to have ambitious ideas about |
| 1:27.3 | where to take La Brega next, |
| 1:29.1 | and to fund the journalism that Futuro is doing right now across all shows. |
| 1:34.1 | Futuro accomplished a lot in 2025, and there are big plans for 2026, too. But don't just |
| 1:39.7 | take my word for it. Here's founder Maria Inojosa, Latino USA managing editor Fernanda |
| 1:45.2 | Chavari, and Futuro Studios executive editor Maria Garcia. You can give at Futuromediagroup.org |
