Do you know which Podcasting sites are relevant around Europe? Looking onto it from an outside perspective, it seems simple. Just take the word podcast, slash the country domain endíng to it and you are done, right?
Well, not quite. Each country on their own has a specific set of sites, mailinglists and forums where the podcasters exchange opinions, ask for or offer help and more as well as the one or two pages per country which are widely accepted as *the* place to submit your podcast to.
I put a call for help out in the latest edition of For Immediate Release and like to extend it to the blog: I am looking for suggestions of all European countries of the local go to sites in the comments of this entry to compile a list at a later point with the relevant sites.
Because just cause you are good at PR does not necessary mean that your site also is the accepted community site of a country. :o)

In Denmark there is a huge variety of podcasts and podcasters. Maybe not so many in numbers, but many different in style, content and quality.
A claivoyant podcaster won the first Danish Podcaster Award in June – Jette Harthimmer has around 4000 listeners every month. But we also have film-geeks, comedy-podcasts, radio-montages and my own meta-podcast PodJournalen about podcasting and podcasters in Denmark.
The main podcast directory site is http://www.podhead.dk – tirelessly run by Marc de Oliveira, and there are a few podcast-related blogs like my own http://www.podblog.dk and http://www.podcasterprisen.dk.
There is a mailinglist of around 40 individual podcasters, and there is ofcourse all the professional podcasters like the national broadcasters DR and TV2.
We speak Danish and a podcast in our native tongue will never attract a huge audience – so this is about niches and not mainstream, but really…isn´t that what podcasting is about – the long tail?
