New Aural Cultures presents PhDCasting 8: Practice. Kim Fox, The Podcast Professor

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 Eight: July 2020 – September 2020

As the second year of the PhD draws to a close the practice part of my Practice-based PhD is in full swing. I talk about how the practice is going and some of the themes which my PhD deals with.

I talk to Kim Fox, Professor of Practice at the American University in Cairo and leading podcast academic. We talk about developments in podcasting, podcasting studies and the podacademics, radio studies, her practice, the impact of COVID on podcasting and more.
