Radio Romano Avazo, a community station broadcasting from Prizren, has converted recordings of its Romani-language culture program into podcasts available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and its own website.

Three episodes featuring a teacher and library founder, a politician-actor-poet, and a television editor and former folklorist were released as the pilot batch, aimed at both Kosovo's Roma communities and the diaspora abroad.

The project, funded through a regional digital grant scheme, set targets of more than 500 listens and 200 new followers; the station reports interest from listeners beyond Prizren and across digital channels.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.
