Podcasts are rapidly becoming a regular feature of online research dissemination and university brand-building, so why do only a minority of academics use them to share their research? In this three-part series, LSE Review of Books Podcast Producer Cheryl Brumley demystifies academic podcasting, showing that it can be a labour of love or an inexpensive side-hobby, with a vast spectrum running in between. In the first blog post, Cheryl talks us through getting to know your audience and working to realistic deadlines. In the second blog post, we learn about the best microphones and recorders. Cheryl’s final blog post considers the basics of editing software. Listen to all LSE Review of Books podcasts here.
