In the third episode of this four-part series, our guests, the coeditors of Podcast Studies: Practice into Theory, discuss academic podcasting in action, talking through pedagogical practices and podcasting’s appeal to general audiences. First, Lori Beckstead, Associate Professor of sound media in the RTA School of Media at Toronto Metropolitan University, highlights Oliver McGarr’s three key ways podcasts can be used in the classroom: substitutional, supplementary, and creative. Next, podcaster and academic Dario Llinares explains why podcasting is so effective at communicating with the public, spotlighting characteristics such as emotionality and open-source distribution. Last, Lori and Dario chat about podcasting’s barriers to entry and how the medium can provide a more inclusive form of scholarship.
