New Aural Cultures presents PhDCasting 7: COVID Confirmation. Rute Correia, community radio and open source researcher

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 Seven: April 2020 – Jun 2020

I pass the PhD candidature process at almost the same time that the Coronavirus pandemic forces a lockdown in the UK. Where do I go from here...? I also talk about the role of networking for the (introvert) PhD student and how this led to me being asked onto the Radio Studies Network Steering Group.

I talk to Rute Correia, PhD student at the University of Lisbon, community radio practitioner and host of White Market podcast, researching open source software and community radio. We talk about the life of a PhD student in the niche subject we share, community radio vs podcasting, open source, copyleft and more.
