An IAMCR post-conference
Description
Explore the transformative potential of scholarly podcasting at this special IAMCR 2025 post-conference event. Organised by the Music, Audio, Radio and Sound (MARS) working group, with support from RMIT and University of Sydney, Australia, this one-day gathering brings together academics who are using or interested in podcasting for teaching, research translation, and academic outputs.
The programme features three dynamic sessions: a keynote listening showcase of scholarly podcasts with panel discussion; a hands-on workshop covering podcast creation from concept to audience building; and targeted networking groups matching attendees' interests and expertise.
Building on the successful 2024 Podcast Studies Roundtable in Brisbane, this event expands its focus beyond podcast studies researchers to welcome all academics interested in podcasting. Sessions will be led by specialists in scholarly podcasting, who bring extensive experience as both practitioners and researchers.
The event aims to foster international, cross-disciplinary connections and inspire collaborative projects that address global challenges through podcasting. Join us to explore how academic podcasting can amplify diverse voices and contribute to collective knowledge sharing.
