"A narrative podcast where sound matters as much as the voice."

- Andrea Morán, Ferrándiz. Alrededor de un asesino en serie/Los expulsados del paraíso. Sobrevivir a los Testigos de Jehová

Las Raras is what happens when documentary radio gets a passport, a conscience, and a poet’s ear. Created by Chilean journalist Catalina May and sound designer Martín Cruz, it’s a series of beautifully rendered, deeply reported audio stories about people who resist—quietly, bravely, often without recognition. These are not just tales of protest or injustice, though those pulse beneath the surface; they are portraits of moral imagination, told with a filmmaker’s attention to rhythm and tone. Las Raras doesn’t shout—its power is in its restraint, its intimate immersion in lives often overlooked by the machinery of traditional journalism. The stories span Latin America and beyond, with narration that moves between Spanish and English like breath between languages. It’s radical in the gentlest way: by trusting its subjects, by trusting sound, by trusting the listener to feel. In a world of noise, Las Raras is a rare thing—an act of quiet defiance.
