Martina Castro is a podcast producer and consultant, and CEO & Founder of Adonde Media, a bilingual podcast production company.
Over the past decade, she has produced and edited award-winning audio content in both the U.S. and Latin America. She has worked at National Public Radio (NPR) in Washington, D.C. and Culver City, CA, NPR member station KALW-FM in San Francisco, CA, and NPR's Radio Ambulante, a Spanish-language podcast she co-founded in 2011 and served as senior producer and sound designer until September 2016. |
Martina's independent work has aired nationally on NPR's All Things Considered and Morning Edition, played on stage at Pop Up Magazine, and has been recognized with various awards, including the 2014 Edward R. Murrow award for The Race to An Emergency, a radio documentary about the 911-response system in Oakland, CA. Martina has produced a dozen live radio performances and given numerous workshops and talks on the art of narrative radio storytelling across the U.S. and Latin America, including at the Third Coast International Audio Festival in Chicago, IL and with the Fundación Gabriel Garía Márquez para el Nuevo Periodismo Iberoamericano (FNPI) in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Cartagena, Colombia.

In 2016, that series was turned into an audio exhibit at the Museo de las Migraciones in Montevideo.
