Episode #12
The Sound of Success with Bogdan Bratis | United Citizens of Europe
In this episode, our host Luca sat down with Bogdan Bratis, founder of SaaSPod, a podcast production company working with brands across Europe and beyond, for the final chapter of our European Digital Sovereignty series. Bogdan takes us through his own unconventional path, from finding early fame on X Factor Romania at just seventeen, to moving to the UK and rebuilding himself from scratch, to eventually turning his audio and music production skills into a media business built for the global stage. We talk about what it really takes to build a sustainable media company in Europe today, from navigating taxes and remote team structures to staying resilient in an industry being reshaped by AI. Bogdan shares the results of his own research into fully AI-generated podcasts, why he believes the human voice and human connection remain nearly impossible to replace, and where AI genuinely earns its place as an assistant rather than a substitute in podcast production. Bogdan also reflects on why countries like Germany have quietly become podcasting powerhouses in Europe, and closes with honest, hard-won advice for young Europeans looking to start a business, a podcast, or any creative project of their own.
