"In this volume, Beckstead and Llinares capture the vitality of podcast studies today-and gamely theorize its source. Reminding us that podcast is both a noun and a verb, they showcase the work of scholars for whom podcasting is both an object of study and a mode of scholarly production. This dynamic interplay is producing new knowledge, new podcasts, and new ways of teaching and learning. If you want to join the conversation, this book is a perfect place to start." - Mack Hagood, author of Hush: Media and Sonic Self-Control and producer of Phantom Power
"This excellent collection edited by prominent podcast researchers Lori Beckstead and Dario Llinares embodies the essence of podcasting: relationship. Through an eclectic range of voices, podcast 'pracademics' generously share self-reflective insights into their practice, aptly mirroring the medium's meta tendencies. The anthology bridges podcasting and scholarship, convincingly demonstrating how practice provides context for theory. It celebrates learnings and enthusiasm of a growing network of 'podacademics' who are turning to podcasting to explore ideas, collaborate, and engage in public conversation." - Mia Lindgren, co-editor of The Routledge Companion to Radio and Podcast Studies and award-winning podcast producer
"This new volume gathers together exciting new scholarship on podcasting industries, cultures, and emerging practices of production, research, and reception that will shape our scholarly and creative discussions for years to come." - Jason Loviglio, co-editor of Radio Journal: International Studies in Broadcast and Audio Media
