Podcasts about new aural cultures

Welcome to the first episode of the new season of The Podcast Studies Podcast (formerly New Aural Cultures). We are absolutely delighted to have Dr. Reginold Royston on the show, whose article Podcasts and New Orality in the African Mediascape is the focus of the discussion. A transcript of this episode is available. Dr. Royston is a media anthropologist and digital humanities researcher, jointly appointed in the School of Information (formerly SLIS) and the Department of African Cultural Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He teaches courses on the political economy of information, race/class/gender/identity in tech, Africa, and internet practices in developing world contexts. He also coordinates the Black Arts + Data Futures group through the Borghesi-Mellon Interdisciplinary Workshop in the Humanities at the UW-Madison Center for Humanities. The conversation covers the context of African podcasting, researching from a diaspora identity, tech entrepreneurialism as a genre, the concepts of secondary and new orality, the influence of African oral traditions, and the dialogic formulas that structure podcasts discussion. For this season Dario is joined by a new regular (I mean deluxe) co-host Lori Beckstead. Lori is a professor of audio and digital media at the RTA School of Media at “X” University (undergoing a name change), where she teaches courses in radio production, sound design, and digital media production. Also, as a sound artist, she has a particular interest in soundscape recording and interactive installation art. Dario and Lori give an overview of their interests for the coming season. We are also delighted to have a new recommendation segment (or a podcast neighbourhood walk) featuring podcast producer and all-around guru Jess Schmidt. Jess is a podcast producer and consultant based in Calgary, Alberta. She recently completed a Master of Media Production at "X" University, and listens to more podcasts than anyone Lori has ever known.

The role of early career researchers is absolutely fundamental to the emergence and future development of “Podcast Studies”. And today I’m delighted to be joined by two such scholars whose own research is expanding the horizons of how podcasting is being theorized and analysed, AND, who are providing organisation, leadership & support for other ECRs in podcasting. This is particularly in light of their recent organisation of an International Graduate Symposium on Emerging in Podcast Studies. Dario talk's Alyn Euritt whose research uses discourse analysis to expressions of Intimacy in podcasting, and Jeff Donison whose work focuses on marginalized voices in the context of Canadian podcasting. They discuss their research along withing the broad context of the emerging discipline podcast studies and introduce two short recordings from contributors to the symposium who also summarise their work. These contributors are Martin Feld, Freja Sørine Adler Berg, Waqar Ahmed, Tegan Bratcher, and Nele Heise. If you would like access to the panel presentations please email Alyn Euritt and mention you heard the New Aural Cultures episode on the symposium and she will give you access.

PhDCasting aims to be research through podcasting practice. Jerry Padfield documents his personal reflections of a journey through a PhD at Falmouth University, researching #podcasting and #CommunityRadio practice for wellbeing. The podcast talks about the experience of completing a PhD, from the perspective of a research student: the milestones, the emotional highs and lows, and also becomes a research tool in itself, interrogating the embodied knowledge within the practice. Each episode also features a conversation with a practitioner discussing issues around podcasting and broadcasting. Quarter Ten: Jan 2021 – Mar 2021 A period of extreme business, Covid delays and possible funding extensions. In common with most of the academic world at this time I’m snowed under with work. In a period of reflection I decided to interview myself about my experiences during the PhD and the point at where I am in my practice.

In this episode, Dario talks to a producer and host with his finger on the pulse of the American podcasting landscape, Matty Staudt. Matty has been obsessed with audio broadcasting since childhood, listening to seminal shows such as Bob and Ray's morning show and Dr Demento. Moving into radio at the first opportunity Matty quickly became an an on-air host, morning show lead and executive producer at stations as WJFK in Washington DC, WNEW in New York City, Alice Radio (KLLC) and Live 105 (KITS) in San Francisco. In 2007, Matty redirected his radio career toward the new world of podcasting; becoming a pioneer at Stitcher as their first Director of Content. Matty has been a consultant for top companies like Cisco, Sirius/XM, and The Federal Reserve Bank, creating branded content podcasts, coaching hosts and producers, and formulating dynamic podcast strategies since 2011. He’s hosted several podcasts including his "Access Podcast" (a cousin of New Aural Cultures it seems), interviewing some of the best podcasters in the industry. As a professor at The Academy of Art University in San Francisco, Matty launched one of the nation’s first university-level podcasting departments in 2012. In 2017, Matty encapsulated the radio/podcast convergence when he joined iHeartRadio as the radio industry’s first Vice President of Podcast Programming. As president of Jam Street Media, founded in 2020, he has helped launch a slate of new titles including Big Swing Podcast a podcast hosted by Dodgers pitcher Ross Stripling and longtime sports fan Cooper Surles with pro athlete guests, talking about sports, pop culture, business, and everything in between.

In this episode, New Aural Cultures is delighted to be collaborating with the SpokenWeb podcast. Produced by a collective of researchers who are dedicated to the discovery and preservation of sonic artefacts that have captured literary events of the past, SpokenWeb is both a vital resource for the analysis of the spoken word history in Canada and beyond, and a vital intervention into the present and future of literary performance, communication and knowledge exchange from critical and pedagogical perspectives. The podcast is hosted and produced by previous New Aural Cultures guests Hannah MacGregor and Stacey Copeland respectively. The episode we bring you is entitled Cylinder talks and features Director of the SpokenWeb Network and Professor at Concordia University – Jason Camlot – in conversation with SpokenWeb podcast supervising producer and Simon Fraser University PhD candidate – Stacey Copeland – and explores how sound studies is being taken up in the literary classroom. Together we listen back to select “Cylinder Talk” sound production assignments created by Concordia graduate students, and unpack the experiences, ideas and discussions that the production and study of sound can incite across disciplines. A 3-minute audio project assigned to students in Jason’s most recent graduate seminar – Literary Listening as Cultural Technique – the Cylinder Talk draws on a history of early spoken sound recordings, inviting us into an embodied sonic engagement with literature studies.The episode features sound work by Alexandra Sweny, Sara Adams, Aubrey Grant and Andrew Whiteman.

I spoke to Galen Beebe who is a contributing editor at Bello Collective. Bello Collective is a website that is dedicated to writing about podcasting that focuses on criticism. Made up of a diverse team of writers, curators, podcasters and fans who are all passionate about the power of audio, they publishes analysis of specific podcasts, innovations in technology and journalism, and highlight shows that are worth listening to. It’s really a great hub for discourse about podcasts that goes beyond the well-worn hobby horses of monetisation and audience expansion. Galen comes from a literature background which is why we get on a trip about writing in relation to podcasting, along with talking about the website and the newsletter which anyone who listens to this show should subscribe to. We also cover topics such as production values of podcasting during the pandemic, journalistic ethics in podcasting, podcasting's relationship to legacy media (what’s new and old about it), helping academics turn research into podcasts, podcasting as ekphrastic writing and difficulties of writing about podcasting in general, what should podcast criticism do in terms of the focus on form and content, and engaging the labour of difficult art. In my opening remarks I think about the interrelationship between writing and speaking, between audio and text, and how the nomeclature we use to talk about podcasting can reflect the complex layers of technologies and practices that make defining a definitive criteria of the medium, so difficult.

Guest host Lori Beckstead interviews Dan Misener, head of Audience Development at the branded podcasting agency Pacific Content, and host/producer of the delightful podcast Grown Ups Read Things They Wrote As Kids. Dan explains what branded podcasts are and the various considerations relating to connecting to podcast audiences, such as understanding 'podcast neighbourhoods', recognizing that a potential listener will see your podcast before they're able to listen to it, and that radio (and podcasting) is all about people talking to people about people. Episode notes: Guest host Lori Beckstead is an Associate Professor of Sound Media at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada where she teaches podcasting, radio broadcasting, and other courses related to sound studies and audio production. Lori was a guest on a previous episode of New Aural Cultures, talking about using podcasting as a form of peer review, and about her research examining podcasting as a medium. Dan Miser's insightful writing about podcasting can be found at https://medium.com/@misener. Dan talks about Choiceology with Katy Milkman as an example of a branded podcast.

Quarter Nine: October 2020 – Dec 2020 The start of my last year of funding: I had planned for a couple of months of reflection and writing up time after completing the first round of practical work. However, a change in life circumstances and the ever-evolving response to the global pandemic means it’s time to adapt and change again, which leads me to think about the constant need to adapt during a PhD. Research leads to new discoveries, which leads to new outlooks, new paths to explore. A PhD is not a static thing and should always be changing until you hand it in. I’m joined in conversation by Dr Josephine Coleman of Brunel University who is an academic with a great interest in Community Radio in the UK as well as being the beating heart of the MeCCSA Radio Studies Network. We talk about Community Radio and Jo shares her (very useful) tips for surviving a PhD.

Shownotes Welcome to the new season of New Aural Cultures Podcast. In this first episode of 2021, Dario Llinares speaks to PhD candidate from Monash University (Melbourne) Daniel Bacchieri about his fantastic project Streetmusicmap radio. The project combines a comprehensive archive of global street musicians organised through a digital map linking to and instagram page of footage from artists performing from all over the world. Allied to this is the podcast StreetMusicMap Radio (http://streetmusicmelbourne.com/podcast-episodes/) features an eclectic mix of musicians, primarily from Melbourne, discussing their creative practice, the life of a street musician and questions around performance, the urban experience, economics and the effect of the pandemic on street music. Dario's opening remarks looks back on a tumultuous few weeks and months, along with looking forwards to the future of the New Aural Cultures podcast, the form the show will take and potential collaborations. He also comments upon recent discussions around the origin of podcasting and how that gets framed from difference perspectives.

In light of the momentous and quite frankly exhausting week leading up to the election of Joe Biden as 46th president of the United States, Dario catches up with an old podcasting friend, writer journalist and true sage of the American political system Denis Campbell. Denis produced The Three Muckrakers podcast on which Dario was one of those three along with Wales based Journalist Phil Parry; a show that looked across the main political stories from both a UK/US perspective. In this chat, Dario and Denis muse on the impact of Trump's term in office and the future of Trumpism, coverage and attitudes to the US elections around the world, the role of the media in political discourse, Biden's challenges and the potential direction his administration could take, along with many other things. Denis also discusses the difficulties of podcasting about politics and the general polarised tribalism of our current culture. He also trails a new podcast he is producing entitled Into the Fire which is about individuals overcoming great difficulties in their lives. Follow Denis on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ClientLoyaltyDC Follow Dario on Twitter: https://twitter.com/dariodoubleL This episode was recorded on Friday 6th of November, before the major networks called the election for Joe Biden.

Sometimes called the PhD upgrade or Candidature Exam at other institutions it marks a point where your research so far is assessed to worthy of PhD status (or not!) I talk to Dr Sherezade Garcia Rangel, academic at Falmouth University School of Communication and creator of “On The Hill” podcast which documents the stories behind the gravestones at a cemetery in Falmouth. On The Hill mixes creative writing, research, storytelling and documentary style podcasting.

A PhD is a massive self-directed project; you set your own deadlines and must adjust when they are either unachievable or have to change.

After a bit of a hiatus, New Aural Cultures is back with a new series written, produced and presented by PhD student Jerry Padfield. Jerry is based down in Falmouth, Cornwall and is half-way through a PhD by practice which focuses on community radio and access. However, during the development of his project, he has begun to use podcasting as a research tool. Also, the podcast series acts an at kind of auto-ethnography for charting the process and progress of his PhD by practice. In this episode, Jerry gives an introductory overview to the series talking with Dario Llinares and the discussion also covers the question of media in the current situation.

New Aural Cultures returns with this fascinating in-depth discussion with the science communicator and podcast producer (among many other things) Joseph Fridman. Joseph very generously took a brief break from his role as executive director of the upcoming Sound Education Conference taking place in Boston, MA from the 9-12th of October to talk about a range of themes particularly science communication and journalism, and the possibilities that podcasting provides in such areas. Joseph also outlines the aims of the conference and give an incredibly astute insight into the many strands of sound-based practice and education. Two other podcasting related conferences are coming up very soon including ECREA Radio Research Conference (University of Siena, 19-21 September and Podcasting Poetics Conference (Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, 11-12 October).

Opening van het eerste Podcastfestival met Lieven Heeremans, Michiel Veenstra, Tess de Wit en de doorbraak van de podcast in Nederland!

This edition of New Aural Cultures is drawn from a podcasting workshop lead by Dr Dario Llinares at Birkbeck, University of London. Invited by Professor Catherine Grant, Dario introduced 5 PhD students to both the technical, structural and aesthetic elements of podcasting, along with the ways it can supplement or even be integrated as a key part of a researcher's methodology. The PhD students split into groups in which they produced 2 segments outlining the themes and commonalities of their work. What results is an incredibly fruitful discussion that touch on areas such as the voice, authenticity, embodiedness, mediation of the self, creating and revealing truth, composition and decomposition, all of which linked to aspects of podcasting as a medium. The PhD Students involved were: Henry Mulhall – Henry’s research looks at how language use in a specific area of Plymouth forms an informal constellation across a range of arts organisation. This is with an aim of identifying communities of practice through language and habitual uses of rhetoric limit that communities access to a wider public sphere. Paul Martin – Paul’s research looks at the music industry especially the role of A&R in the period of the 1990s in London and specifically Black British electronic music (e.g. Drum and Bass) of the period. Emily Best – Researching the wider contexts of changes in listening culture in the age of the smartphone and the mediation of voice through technology. Also through working with the National Literacy Trust Emily explores how audio can support literacy in different ways. Mah Rana - Mah's research derives from her current experience of being a daughter caring for her mother who has dementia, and also as an artist & researcher using crafts & creative practice in community projects. Lily Green - Lily's research is based on a series of interconnected performance-based social experiments focussing on eusocial insect's intricate social systems. As the first and most enduring global civilisation, what can we learn from them? And what is the basis for people's irrational fear of insects. Many thanks to Prof. Catherine Grant, Jo Coleman & Ayca Ince Onkal for their support.

Hot on the heels of the publication of our own Podcasting book came another foundational text in the development of Podcast Studies. Podcasting: The Audio Media Revolution was written by Dr Martin Spinelli and Dr Lance Dann and is accompanied by a podcast entitled For Your Ears Only. In a wide-ranging conversation Dario talks to Martin Spinelli about the development of the book, it's role in the expanding field of Podcast studies, and the similarities and difference to our work Podcasting: New Aural Cultures and Digital Media. Martin and Dario also onto discuss the interview methodology and the impressive range of podcast producers that underpins the research. They then get into the weeds on a range of conceptual themes related to the medium of podcasting including the ontology of knowledge through sound, empathy and vulnerability, authenticity and intimacy, Techo-discursivity, diversity of voices and podcasting's commercial and structural future. Dr Martin Spinelli has a hugely impressive C.V. as both a radio producer and academic. He began a career in radio as a reporter, anchor and producer in Buffalo, New York, he produced national award-winning news features and documentaries for public radio as well as the nationally acclaimed literary series LINEbreak.

In this our 4th episode of New Aural Cultures, Richard Berry has been talking to 3 more authors about their work. Whilst each of authors arrives at podcasting from different routes there are themes that cut across each of their interviews that are central to some of the debates in podcast studies. In this episode Stacey Copeland talks about her work in feminist media and radio studies, and in particular the work of podcaster Kaitlin Prest in The Heart (if you haven’t already binged through The Heart we suggest that you add it to your list). Stacey is a media producer and Ph.D. student at Simon Fraser University’s School of Communication in Vancouver, Canada. She received her Master of Arts from the Ryerson York joint Communication and Culture graduate program where she studied with a focus on radio production, sound studies, media culture and gender studies. It was during her Master’s work that Copeland co-founded FemRadio, a Toronto, Canada based feminist community radio collective. Some areas of scholarly interest include feminist media, oral/aural histories, sound archives, media history, phenomenology of voice, sensory ethnography, and cultural heritage. Our second interview is the artist Robbie Wilson, who merged podcasting with art practice in his work called Wandercast. As piece of work this podcast provides an alternative application for the podcast form. Robbie is a creative practitioner, artistic researcher, and published author. His practice-as-research PhD was awarded in November 2018 – the project developed and examined playful, participatory strategies for finding novel ways of perceiving and interacting with people, places, things, and ideas. In this way, Robbie’s practice facilitates creative learning: it creates the conditions for creativity to be learned. In our third interview Kathleen Collins talks about her love for podcasts as a listener led to this investigation into comedian hosted podcasts and their link to conversations around mental health. Kathleen is a librarian and professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. since 2007. Previously, she was in the journalism field for a decade, working as an editorial researcher. She has written about television, media history and popular culture in both scholarly and popular publications.

Episode 1 of the New Aural Cultures podcast sees co-editors of 2018’s Podcasting - New Aural Cultures and Digital Media (Palgrave), Dr Dario Llinares, Dr Neil Fox and Richard Berry, provide an overview of the first academic collection to tackle the nascent media of the podcast and discuss some of the underlying issues, advances, challenges and joys of the medium and try and contextualise why it means so much to so many people and why it’s worthy of such scholarly scrutiny. Over the course of the hour the three editors discuss how the book captures a significant moment, not only in terms of content but also in terms of the interdisciplinarity of the contributors, highlighting the potentiality of podcasting at a moment when it’s threatened by the corporatisation that has befallen other mediums and art-forms historically. It’s not all doom and gloom though, as Neil, Dario and Richard talk about why they love the medium and hopefully convey some of the energy and excitement that comes out of the book, for this emerging, empathetic and enlightening medium. Successive episodes will feature interviews with the book’s contributors and a final episode will see the co-editors come together again, this time to discuss their own contributions to the collection.
