The People Behind Urbinary 

Urbinary is brought to life by three core teams: the Coordination Group, the Creative Communications Team, and the Post-producers. In addition to these fixed groups, each podcast cycle has a dedicated Editorial Team, composed of members from the Coordination Group and individuals who apply to contribute because of their interest in the cycle’s theme. Moreover, the Editorial and Creative Communication teams are supported by a group of Interns.
