 From the publisher, WLU Press:
/Podcast Studies: Practice into Theory/ critically examines the emergent 
field of podcasting in academia, revealing its significant impact on 
scholarly communication and approaches to research and knowledge 
creation. This collection presents in-depth analyses from scholars who 
have integrated podcasting into their academic pursuits. The book 
systematically explores the medium's implications for teaching, its 
effectiveness in reaching broader audiences, and its role in reshaping 
the dissemination of academic work. Covering a spectrum of disciplines, 
the contributors detail their engagement with podcasting, providing 
insight into its use as both a research tool and an object of analysis, 
thereby illuminating the multifaceted ways in which podcasting 
intersects with and influences academic life.

 From Reviewers (who I believe are members of this list-serv -- a big 
thank you for writing a review!):

"In this volume, Beckstead and Llinares capture the vitality of podcast 
studies today-- and gamely theorize its source. REminding us that 
'podcast' is both a noun and a verb, they showcase the work of scholars 
for whom podcasting is both an object of study and a mode of scholarly 
production. This dynamic interplay is producing new knowledge, new 
podcasts, and new ways of teaching and learning. If you want to join the 
conversation, this book is a perfect place to start."
-- Mack Hagood, author of /Hush: Media and Sonic Self-Control /and 
producer of /Phantom Power/

"This excellent collection edited by prominent podcast researchers Lori 
Beckstead and Dario Llinares embodies the essence of podcasting: 
relationship. Through an eclectic range of voices, podcast 'pracademics' 
generously share self-reflexive insights into their practice, aptly 
mirroring the medium's meta tendencies. The anthology bridges podcasting 
and scholarship, convincingly demonstrating how practice provides 
context for theory. It celebrates the learnings and enthusiasm of a 
growing network of 'podacademics' who are turning to podcasting to 
explore ideas, collaborate, and engage in public conversation."
-- Mia Lindgren, co-editor of /The Routledge Companion to Radio and 
Podcast Studies/ and award-winning podcast producer

"This new volume gathers together exciting new scholarship on podcasting 
industries, cultures, and emerging practices of production, research, 
and reception that will shape our scholarly and creative discussions for 
years to come."
-- Jason Loviglio, co editor of /Radio Journal: International Studies in 
Broadcast and Audio Media/
