Description
Book Synopsis
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.
