From Toronto Podcast Conference: The Podcast Space?

The Podcast Studies Podcast returns after over a year's hiatus. In this first episode in a new season we bring you a hybrid recorded session from the ICA pre-conference focused specifically on Podcast Studies. Lori hosts the episode and quizes Dario on his deconstruction of "The Podcast Space". In the first chapter of the upcoming book Podcast Studies: Practice into Theory, Dario explores the way in which Podcast Studies scholars deploy the term "space" to amalgamate various different physical/conceptual assertions to define the process and implications of podcasting. Dario uses his own experience and thinking on "academic podcasting" as a reference to build a layered map of intersecting technological, creative, organisation and spatial elements, along with the reception and ephemeral outcomes of distributing and have a podcast listened to. The delegate questions also expand the scope of the session, pointing to many of the key debates that were the underpinning themes of the conference, which was a vital get together for the Podcast studies Community.

We hope you enjoy this episode and if you are working within or adjacent to the field of Podcast Studies, and would like to discuss your work, or interview someone else about their work, please get in touch:
