Diversifying the Space of Podcasting: Access, Identity, and Reflective Practices - Hardcover

by Alexis Romero Walker (Editor), Alexis Romero Walker (Editor), Tegan R. Bratcher (Editor)

As the podcast studies field continues to gain momentum both within academia and in practice, scholars have been mapping and exploring the podcasting landscape from a variety of perspectives. This edited volume highlights the diverse spaces that podcasts embody and create, amplifying the unique and understudied perspectives and voices of podcasting. Through a multitude of interdisciplinary approaches, contributors explore the various cultural, racial, and identity-based markers undergirding the richness of the platform and argue that by understanding diverse content and content creators, we enrich the field of podcast studies as a whole. Scholars of media, communication, cultural, podcast, and critical race studies - among others - will find this book to be particularly useful.
