Ben Kosterich Co Founder of Podwave Studios

Ben Kosterich

Director and Co-Founder

Ben Kosterich is the co-founder of Podwave Studios. Before starting the business, he spent years in the podcast world, first hosting a show on novel food and alternative proteins, then producing and hosting an investor relations podcast where he interviewed CEOs of publicly listed companies and hedge fund managers from around the world.

After years of constant set up and pack down between recording sessions, he decided there had to be a better way. He built Podwave Studios to solve that problem for himself, and quickly realised he could offer the same solution to others. From there, the business grew to cover everything a podcaster needs, from editing and distribution to marketing, monetisation and sponsorships.

Ben works with clients who want to stop worrying about the logistics and focus on the conversation.
