In fact, we're delighted to showcase innovative thinking, as in such episodes as  Innovation in research dissemination: Cora Cole on GreyLitOnline lecturing: Bart Hallmark on pitfalls and good practiceUnderstanding preprints with Jonny Coates- and shortly we'll be publishing an interview with Giovanni Salucci on his notion of 'the quality blog'. Here, in an episode fizzing with intellectual excitement, Mack Hagood develops some innovative thinking on podcasting.This episodeWhy should scholarship be done aloud? And how should 'sonic' scholarship be done?In pursuit of the answers to these questions, Mack Hagood (Associate Professor of Media and Communication at Miami University, Ohio) distinguishes between three types of podcast: 'hi-fi, mid-register'; 'lo-fi, high-register'the 'third way'  podcast - the form that Mack proposes as an alternative form to journal papers. In the process, Mack delves into the characteristics and the benefits of this new form.References and linksMack Hagood, 'The scholarly podcast: form and function in audio academia' in Jeremy Wade-Morris & Eric Hoyt, Saving new sounds: podcast preservation and historiography (University of Michigan, 2021).Mack Hagood's sites include:MactrasoundPhantom Power The researcher mentioned at Cambridge Judge Business School is Pearl Phaovisaid.The book on narrative is Shawn Callahan, Putting stories to work (Pepperberg Press, 2016).Further listeningIf you enjoyed listening to this episode, you might also enjoy:Writing reports successfullySponsored reportCreditsSound production: Bart HallmarkMusic: from Handel's Water Music, courtesy of the United States Marine Band and Marine Chamber OrchestraSupport the showAbout the publisherThis episode is published by Frontinus Ltd.
