Podcasting as a Research Method: A Practical Guide

This pioneering guide explores podcasting as a powerful tool for data collection and knowledge production, demonstrating the value of the medium as a qualitative research method.

The book introduces three novel approaches: podcasting as participatory action research, enabling collaboration and public engagement; sonic elicitation, using sound to evoke rich, affective responses in interviews and focus groups; and podcast ethnography, where audio recordings are both data and narrative.

Key features include:

• Practical guidance on designing and producing research podcasts;

• In-depth examination of ethical considerations when working with sound and voice; and

• Exploration of podcasting’s connection to longstanding traditions of orality in research.

Grounded in theory and practice, this is a must-read for researchers looking to innovate by creatively and critically engaging with sound in their work.
