INNOCAST 2025. Innovative Perspectives in Podcasting

11–12 December 2025

Faculty of Philology, Translation and Communication

University of Valencia (SPAIN)

In today's media ecosystem, characterised by hyperconnectivity, the 
proliferation of smart devices and the impact of artificial 
intelligence, podcasting has established itself as a central format in 
the creation, circulation and consumption of audio content. In this 
context, the INNOCAST 2025 Conference is presented as a space for 
reflection and academic exchange aimed at analysing innovative 
perspectives on podcasting and its future prospects from an 
interdisciplinary approach. The purpose of the meeting is to contribute 
to the study of podcasting as a medium of growing relevance in the 
fields of communication, education, culture and technology, addressing 
its theoretical and practical implications, as well as its challenges 
and opportunities in a constantly changing media environment.

Thematic areas

1. Podcasts, higher education and training processes

This thematic area proposes to examine the role of podcasts as a 
pedagogical resource and as an institutional communication tool in the 
field of education. This includes research on podcast-based teaching 
methodologies, their contribution to active and collaborative learning, 
the development of communication skills, as well as case studies on the 
production and circulation of podcasts in university and school 
contexts, including their link to the evolution of university radio.

2. Podcasts, artificial intelligence and future challenges

We invite submissions that analyse how podcasts are adapting to 
technological, economic and social transformations. Topics of interest 
include the evolution of the format, video podcasts, sustainability and 
monetisation models, forms of interactivity, audience studies and, in 
particular, the impact of artificial intelligence, machine learning and 
big data on production, distribution and consumption processes.

3. History and evolution of radio and podcasts

This thematic area focuses on historical and comparative studies that 
address the trajectory of radio and the emergence of podcasts. It 
includes research on relevant milestones, content transformations, media 
convergence processes, and analysis of the role of these formats in 
different social and cultural contexts.
