Bay Area author Daniel Alarcon's acclaimed 2007 novel, "Lost City Radio," features a radio show that plays a powerful role in an unnamed South American country by reuniting people missing or displaced by war. Now, Alarcon has launched a radio program in Spanish in the style of "This American Life." The program features personal stories that reflect the wide range of experiences of Latinos in the U.S., and of Spanish speakers across the globe.

Host: Michael Krasny

Guests:

  • Daniel Alarcon, co-founder and executive producer of "Radio Ambulante," author of "War by Candlelight" and "Lost City Radio" and investigative reporting fellow at the UC Berkeley School of Journalism
