In November 2024, Eve and Sebastian, two CDR policy aficionados, decided to team up to deliver timely, in-depth, punchy coverage of key policy development in CDR. They were having these chats with each other anyway, so they decided to just let people tune in via livestream on LinkedIn.
That is how the CDR Policy Scoop was born.
Clearly, they were onto something, as the first five lives reached over 12,000 people. So in January 2025, the CDR Policy Scoop was made into a podcast–with over 10,000 downloads in under a year.
And we’re just getting started.
