Hi — I'm Andreea. A podcaster with international experience in marketing, production, social media, and community-building. But more than anything, I'm a big podcasting fan and audio nerd.
I'm from Romania, in the Balkans, where press freedom is customarily restricted, and independent journalism is in a constant fight for sustainability. Having lived in China for two years, the U.S. for seven, and now back in Europe, storytelling has become the connecting link of it all for me — a way to make sense of my own journey, connect dots across the world, and bring people together to have interest in issues beyond their borders.
The podcasting scene in Europe is very diverse. Each country has its own approach, but the more you look at it closely, you'll see surprising similarities. Compared to the U.S. space which is well-developed (although debatably shaky), there's plenty of room and need for growth, funding, and support.
Eurowaves is my contribution to that — a biweekly newsletter on a mission to connect European stories through podcasting. I co-founded PodVision in 2025, a strategy and production agency for podcasters who want to elevate their existing shows or build new ones. I'm a judge for The Signal Awards, The Ambies, The Webbys and the International Women's Podcast Awards.
