LGBTQ+ Representation in Fictional Podcast Series

The article offers an analysis of the frequency and quality of LGBTQ+ representation in fictional podcasts. I examine how frequently and with what intent LGBTQ+ characters are included in this medium. This research aims to fill the gap in academic work on LGBTQ+ representation in podcasts. Though scholars note an increase in representation in mainstream media, LGBTQ+ media consumers, especially young people, still look to other sources for validation of their identities. Many LGBTQ+ people look to fictional podcasts as a source of quality representation, especially because podcasts are small-scale and rely on the funding, and thus the opinion, of listeners (Bottomley, 2015). In this paper, I analyze four fictional podcast series for LGBTQ+ inclusivity. I note how many LGBTQ+ characters are included and in what proportion. I assess the quality of representation in four ways: diversity, depth, and the frequency and type of stereotypical LGBTQ+ tropes. My findings show a high frequency of LGBTQ+ characters and diversity of personalities and backgrounds, opportunities for these characters to express their sexual and/or gender identities as well as LGBTQ+ trope subversions. Thus, we see that fictional podcasts, as a medium that sustains itself by listeners’ patronage, present stories that their audience can relate to. As a result, fictional podcasts create more niche stories that make connections with smaller demographics of media consumers.

Development of Podcast Spotify-Based Learning Media in Hörverstehen Course Level A2

The European Curriculum Framework or GER (Germanistische Europäische Rahmen) German language proficiency levels are divided into several groups, namely A1- A2 – B1 - B2 – C1 – C2. This requires students to master the four language skills (Speaking, Writing, Reading and Listening). Hörvestehen courses equivalent to level A2 are courses that practice listening skills. In the Hörverstehen Level A2 course, there are still many students who do not pass the listening ability (Hören). This demands that it is necessary to develop Learning Media in the Höverstehen Level A2 course. The Learning Media developed is packaged through learning media based on the Spotify Podcast, Podcast Spotify is a learning media that can be accessed anywhere, anytime and interestingly by integrating aspects of language skills according to the European Curriculum Framework or GER (Germanistische Europäische Rahmen). So, with Podcast Spotify will be able to convey the content of learning Hörverstehen Level A2 to students in the German Language Education Study Program. Therefore, the development of Spotify Podcast-Based Learning Media in the Höverstehen Level A2 course includes 6 themes, namely Leben und Lernen in Europa, Freizeit und Hobbys, Medien im Altag, Vom Land in die Stadt, Kultur erleben and Arbeitswelten. This development aims to develop learning media based on the Spotify Podcast in the Hörverstehen Level A2 Course in the German Language Education Study Program. The target of this Spotify Podcast-based learning media is to improve students' listening skills in learning German Level A2. In developing this Spotify Podcast-based learning media using the ADDIE model development method. In making Audio, the data was taken from the Studio Express A2 book and which was further developed in the form of the Spotify Audio Podcast.

Improving patient and carer access to information and support through head and neck cancer treatment and survivorship using experience-based co-design.

Previous studies have highlighted the unmet nutritional and supportive care needs of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) and their carers from diagnosis and throughout the treatment and survivorship period. The aim of this study was to bring patients, carers and healthcare professionals together to co-design a framework to improve access to nutrition information and support for patients and carers with HNC from diagnosis and throughout the treatment and survivorship period. Using experience-based co-design (EBCD), semistructured individual interviews were conducted with patients, carers and healthcare professionals to understand their experiences in accessing information and support outside of the hospital environment. Feedback events and co-design workshops were held to prioritise areas for service improvement. Participants (10 patients, 7 carers and 15 healthcare professionals) highlighted the importance of having consistent information and support recommendations from the multidisciplinary team. The two key areas for improvement identified through group and workshop events were linking reputable HNC resources to a HNC portal on the hospital website and the development of a series of short podcasts and video blogs with fact sheets attached presented by members of the multidisciplinary team, patients and carers at four time points spanning pretreatment and throughout the survivorship period. Using EBCD has enabled the co-design of a framework for resource development with patients, carers and healthcare professionals to improve access to information and resources to support nutrition intake and supportive care needs for patients with HNC with their carers. Development and implementation of resources and evaluation of outcomes is ongoing.

Craftsmanship: Interview with Stephen Jones, milliner

As part of the In Pursuit of Luxury podcast series, I’ve interviewed a number of people in a variety of areas in the luxury sector whose work involves areas ranging from design to business, manufacturing, publishing, sustainability and PR. I’ve interviewed designers and craftspersons and those who are involved in leadership roles in major corporations. In our pursuit of luxury and the subsequent launch of the In Pursuit of Luxury podcast we continue the debate around luxury. What is luxury? How is it defined? Who defines it? And why define it at all? These questions, and more are at the forefront of our mind as we discuss current and emergent definitions of luxury and that they mean to each of our interviewees. I have interviewed master craftsmen like for example, the watchmaker, Roger W. Smith, the jeweller Theo Fennell, the designer Ron Arad and the Michelin star chef Ollie Dabbous. I thought milliner Stephen Jones’s interview would be particularly suited for this issue as he celebrates 25 years as creative director at Christian Dior.

Podcasting urban geographies: examining the utility of student-generated research podcasts for deep learning and education for sustainable development

ABSTRACT Action-oriented pedagogies are becoming an increasingly popular instructional approach within higher education, encouraging students to learn by doing and to actively participate in the construction of knowledge, forming part of learning-centred and research-centred approaches to teaching and learning thought to assist deep learning. Such pedagogies are also critical for attending to broader societal challenges through education for sustainable development (ESD). Despite pedagogical shifts, assessment methods remain largely centred on more traditional written methods such as exams or essays, even though there is a growing recognition of the diversity of learners within higher education institutions, coupled with recent drives for adoption of universal design principles for learning (UDL). Within this context, this paper reports on the use of audio podcasts for assessment in a final year urban geography module. Reflective statements completed by the students were analysed to examine the utility of learner-generated research-based podcasts for learning and assessment in urban geography, focussing on the depth of learning, creativity, and the development of graduate attributes. Podcasts have received little attention as a tool for teaching, learning and assessment within Geography, yet innovations in assessment can enhance the profile and popularity of Geography in higher education and beyond.

The value of podcasts to journalism: analysis of digital native media brands’ offerings, production and publishing in Spain

The growing popularity of podcasting is an opportunity for the news industry to identify new ways of delivering journa­lism and to find solutions to the challenges of digital transformation. Podcasts are tools that help the media adapt to the digital sphere by giving prominence to audio to extend their journalistic influence in the sonosphere. Given its disruptive nature, and since it breaks with the traditional content choices available, the analysis of this article focuses on what is offered in the form of podcasts by digital native media brands in Spain. It looks at the extent to which they are committed to this audio content and the type of journalism-based productions they promote and publish. To do this, a qualitative and quantitative content analysis methodology was used. This included an interpretation of data recorded in the Digital media map 2021 (Mapa de medios digitales 2021), updated as part of the Diginativemedia project (2019-2021). An in-depth study of a corpus –or sample– of 29 titles or series of podcasts published by 7 native news brands is also provided. These brands were selected because they publish podcasts and because, according to the Digital news report Spain 2021, they have the largest weekly reach among Spanish internet users. The results of the research show that only 1 in 4 digital media brands that offer podcasts (925) are native (232), and that it is the specialist native media outlets that are most committed to podcasting (140). Native media brands view podcasts as part of their journalism-based products and services, whose presence is beginning to grow as an exploration of their informative and expressive potential. In addition, it is podcasts that tackle current affairs using conversational formats –both audio and video– through serialised, original productions for the media outlet’s website and to provide a range of platforms.

A Mobile Application for Teaching and Learning Critical Thinking About Health Choices Among Youth in Rwanda: A Digital Tool for Youth Friendly Center Counsellors.

Mobile health applications can help to disseminate educational health interventions and be widely used. However, mobile health applications not carefully developed will likely not be adopted by the intended users. This paper describes the methodology used to develop a mobile health application for teaching critical thinking about health to youth attending youth friendly centres in Rwanda. The app includes the adapted content of a children's "health choices book". We adapted the book into audio podcasts to fit the context of young adults. The application was developed following a framework for developing mobile health applications. The framework follows three theories: health belief model, the theory of planned behavior and technology acceptance model. We developed an Android based application which can be freely accessed in the Play store. The content in the app explains the need for critical thinking, the 10 audio podcasts, the support, and chat window where users share their experience of using the app. The app will be piloted in two youth centers in Rwanda.

“F*cking politeness” and “staying sexy” while doing it: intimacy, interactivity and the feminist politics of true crime podcasts

ABSTRACT Podcasts possess the unique affordance of “hyper-intimacy” that allows listeners to tap into personal experiences and emotional connections. Intersecting with social media spaces, these connections provide for the formation of online communities that encourage listeners to engage in discursive politics and to view their own experiences as part of a feminist politics. Piggybacking on the “Serial Effect”, the true crime podcast, My Favorite Murder, became a cult sensation while connecting individual listeners to an online community of Facebook groups, twitter accounts and subreddits. In this paper I examine how, through a series of memes, jokes, stories and mantras, these MFM-focused online spaces have transformed an online podcast community into a subcultural space that advances discourses about challenging women’s fear of violence and victimization. Examining how the issue of violent crime against women is being understood and developed. I draw on the concept of discursive politics as well as the emerging literature on the potential of podcasting.

Cancer Careers a ROECSGXLearnOncology podcast: Increasing Accessibility to Information about Oncology Careers

Purpose In recent years, medical student (MS) applications to U.S. and Canadian radiation oncology (RO) residency programs have declined. The Radiation Oncology Education Collaborative Study Group (ROECSG) recently formed an Undergraduate Medical Education (UGME) committee consisting of attending physicians, residents, and MSs across the globe to further UGME educational efforts. This group identified a need for outreach activities to increase exposure to and interest in RO. Methods In collaboration with LearnOncology, an online, interactive tool to teach oncology skills to learners at all levels, the UGME subcommittee created a structure for a podcast series to highlight oncology careers. This podcast series will be hosted on LearnOncology. Together, these groups identified key topics, informally surveyed MSs, wrote a standardized script, trained interviewers on recording and editing audio content, and set goals for the future scope of the podcast. Results MS and resident interviewers recently completed training and have scheduled initial faculty interviews. Edited podcast episodes will be ≤20 minutes, conducted informally to spotlight both the career and personality of the interviewee. Prominent oncology specialists (e.g. radiation, surgery, medicine, interventional radiology, and physics) will be featured. Listeners will be prompted to complete a brief survey. Interviewers and interviewees will partake in a separate survey to examine the impact of project participation. Podcast analytics and survey data will guide subsequent iterations of podcast episodes. Discussion Podcasts for UGME are a cost-effective teaching method, which gained popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic. We hypothesize that this podcast will be a unique way to positively impact undecided MSs facing the challenge of choosing a career path and increase awareness about oncology specialties. Additionally, this may positively impact mentorship through linking MS and resident interviewers to specialist interviewees. The LearnOncologyXROECSG podcast platform, Cancer Careers, was created to address student questions, anxieties, and excitement related to choosing an oncology career. We expect that this project will increase exposure to oncology and MS interest in oncology careers, including RO.
