This volume is the first comprehensive collection to interrogate the definition, status, practices, and implications of podcasting within the broader context of media and cultural studies. Encompassing chapters that span a range of approaches, this book offers critical work from some of the leading scholars on radio, broadcasting, and podcasting. Additonally, podcasters themselves contribute to the work, conceptualizing the new forms of knowledge that have emerged through their podcast production. As a whole, the book addresses the ways in which the podcast can transverse the relationship between theory and practice, engaging listeners across the globe along the way.
