FreshEd #373 - Listening to the Soundosphere: An Academic Manifesto (Peter Browning)

Today we air the next episode of Flux, a FreshEd series where graduate students turn their research interests into narrative based podcasts. In this episode, Peter Browning explores the power of the Soundosphere. His meta-engagement highlights the importance of sound in creating immersive experiences, the emotional and embodied aspects of ethnographic research, and the political and social implications of podcasting. Peter Browning recently graduated with his PhD from the Institute of Education at the University College London, where he is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Advanced Studies. https://freshedpodcast.com/flux-browning/ -- Today’s episode was created, written, and produced by Peter Browning. Johannah Fahey was the executive producer. Brett Lashua and Will Brehm were the producers. Special thanks to Complicité not only for granting permission to use their material, but also for kindling Peter's interest in sound and storytelling. Also, a big thank you to Johannah Fahey, executive producer of FreshEd Flux, for her ongoing encouragement, for helping Peter to move beyond his comfort zone, and for finding humour in the absurd.
