Eurowaves Launches International Advisory Board to Connect European Podcasting to the World

Eurowaves, the biweekly newsletter covering the European podcasting industry, today announced the Eurowaves Advisory Board: a group of international podcasting leaders committed to connecting the European podcasting industry to the world.

Founded in December 2024 by podcast professional Andreea Coscai, Eurowaves has published 43 issues and grown to more than 2,200 subscribers, with readers in countries across the continent. The newsletter has been featured in Forbes, Podnews, Podcast Review, Bingeworthy and Ear Worthy, and has expanded beyond the inbox into in-person meet-ups, most recently in Madrid and London.

The new advisory board formalizes the network that has grown up around the publication. The members span Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, the United States, Australia, Romania, Madagascar, France and Colombia, and bring experience across public broadcasting, narrative documentary, podcast technology, journalism, podcast agency production and community organizing.

“The podcasting scene in Europe is very diverse, yet disconnected. Each country has its own approach, but the closer you look, the more surprising similarities you find,” said Andreea Coscai, Founder of Eurowaves.

"There is plenty of room and need for growth, funding, support, and cross-border collaboration. This board is a group of professionals who have spent their careers building exactly that, in different corners of the world.

Having them in the same room makes Eurowaves even more useful to the industry."

More information on the advisory board will follow on the Eurowaves website.
