Tune in here every Friday for a weekly 30-minute analysis of news and public affairs in Latin America, brought to you via podcast in cooperation with American University School of Communication and Link TV.
For four years Link TV produced a video series that provided in-depth analysis of issues in Latin America. Although that video series is now on hiatus, this podcast of the same name is produced in the spirit of that original program.

(February 10, 2012) With primary elections for the opposition in Venezuela this weekend, Latin Pulse focuses on the political situation in that South American country.
This special program features a complete analysis of all of the opposition candidates and a review of their potential in this fall's election against President Hugo Chavez.
Watch archived video episodes of Latin Pulse, a half-hour news magazine examining Latin American issues relevant to the American public, as presented by newscasts and reports from different Latin American countries. Latin Pulse fills the journalistic vacuum of Latin American news for English speakers, with programs featuring critical current affairs coverage of the region, including exclusive interviews, news, and cultural content.
Latin Pulse is supported by grants from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Chicago Tribune Foundation, and viewers like you.

Chagas: A Silent Epidemic
(Latin Pulse: October 12, 2009) Latin Pulse brings you a special investigative report from Telesur on the epidemic of Chagas in Argentina's rural provinces. Although it already affects upwards of 18 million people throughout the Americas, causing heart failure, digestive problems and death, the disease may be spreading from the rural population to the cities. Scientists and researchers argue that the failure to identify and correct the main source of disease - poverty - is the result of government negligence, corporate indifference and historic inequality.

Chagas: Una enfermedad silenciada
Pulso Latino les trae un reportaje investigativo realizado por el canal latinoamericano Telesur, acerca de la epidemia del Chagas en las provincias rurales argentinas. Sin embargo, esta enfermedad afecta a más de 18 millones de personas a través del continente americano. Fallas cardiacas, problemas digestivos y la muerte, son algunas de las consecuencias del mal de Chagas, una enfermedad que se expande a las ciudades a medida que las poblaciones rurales se urbanizan. Científicos e investigadores sostienen que la falla en identificar y solucionar la causa de la enfermedad - la pobreza -, es resultado de la negligencia gubernamental, la indiferencia de parte de la industria farmacéutica y una inequidad histórica.
