Created by the Institute of Latin American Studies, the Latin American Review radio program was broadcast as part of the Longhorn Radio Network. Covering all of Latin America and the Caribbean, the program aired from 1973 to 1984. The program was primarily divided into two segments, a news segment, dealing with reports from different parts of Latin America, and an interview segment. A diverse number of topics were covered including human rights abuses, economic conditions, music, popular culture, and the history and politics of the region. Originally airing as the Latin American Press Review, the program had its title changed in 1976 to Latin American Review. Contents: Report: A special program featuring an oral history of the 1973 Chilean coup (given on the fifth anniversary of that event) from two view points: pro- and anti-military.
