Podcasts and Urban Studies: Notes from the Field; Sounds from the Studio

Abstract

Podcasting is a potentially powerful digital tool for engaging with a broad range of public, policy, student and professional audiences. We offer an urban studies podcast checklist as a conceptual “how to” guide for podcasting the urban. The checklist shows how each stage of the podcast production process can be thought of as an opportunity to ethically intervene into the social and political worlds of cities. We consider why we initiated our podcasts, how we express ourselves as academics, the ethics of urban podcast production, to whom we are disseminating content and the impression we believe we are making.
