Critical approaches to Welcome to Night Vale : podcasting between weather and the void
\"With well over one-hundred episodes, the podcast Welcome to Night Vale has spawned several international live tours, two novels set in the Night Vale universe, and an extensive volume of fan fiction and commentary. However, despite its immense popularity, Welcome to Night Vale has received almost no academic scrutiny. This edited collection of scholarly essays - the very first of its kind on a podcast - attempts to redress this lack of attention to Night Vale by bringing together an international group of scholars from different disciplines to consider the program's form, themes, politics, and fanbase. After a thorough introduction by the volume's editor, Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock, the eight contributors not only offer close analysis of Night Vale, but use the program as the impetus for broader explorations of new media, gender, the constitution of identity, the construction of place, and the human relationship to meaning and the non-human\"--Back cover.

Broadening Legitimacy of Scholarly Podcasting as Knowledge Dissemination: Metrics, Opportunities and Considerations
Scholarly podcasts offer one way to make research freely available to a broad public audience for the purposes of knowledge dissemination. Some researchers may find it difficult to engage in public knowledge sharing while aligning with their institution’s demands for positive impacts on the university’s standardized metrics and rankings. This interpretive single case study addresses the value of scholarly podcasts, measured and communicated through factors of impact and success. With qualitative and quantitative data, through Rogers’s diffusion of innovation theory, we aim to define and quantify the impacts of scholarly podcasting. For podcasting to become an institutionalized part of the research dissemination process, a fundamental shift must occur in how researchers and academia valuate public scholarship. Findings indicate that basic quantitative data—such as number of downloads and geographic reach, and the Podcast Success Index with supplementary data—may support scholarly podcasters to communicate the value of their work.

Effectiveness of Video Podcast vs. Traditional Live Lectures in Dental Education: A Comparative Study
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of video podcast lectures versus traditional live lectures in enhancing learning outcomes for final-year BDS students at Isra Dental College. Methodology: This quasi-experimental study was conducted over a six months and involved 49 final-year BDS students. Each student participated in both video podcast and traditional live lectures on two topics of equal difficulty, with three lectures per topic. A post-test of 20 One Best Choice Questions evaluated learning effectiveness. The same facilitator delivered both lecture formats. Data were analyzed using SPSS, with paired sample t-tests determining statistical significance (p < 0.05). Student readiness and satisfaction with video podcast lectures were assessed through pre- and post-intervention questionnaires. Results: Traditional live lectures had a significantly higher mean score (11.16) compared to video podcast lectures (9.71) with a p-value < 0.001. Before the intervention, 84% of students believed in the potential benefits of video podcasts and 79% were satisfied after the intervention. In contrast, 95% were satisfied with traditional lectures. Although 90% of students were familiar with podcasting, mostly using mobile phones (65%), 84% still preferred podcasts over traditional lectures. Post-intervention feedback indicated high satisfaction with the tools, sound quality, synchronization and engagement of video podcasts. Conclusions: Traditional live lectures were more effective in improving learning outcomes. However, video podcasts were valued for their convenience and the ability to review content. Integrating both formats could better accommodate diverse learning preferences and enhance the educational experience.

Trust in Pod: Listener Trust of News Content Heard on Different Genre Podcasts
There are several news podcast programs for listeners to choose from, but other genre podcasts (e.g., comedy, true crime, history) also include news in their content. This study measures listener trust in news content aired in different genres. The findings indicate most listeners trust content heard on news podcasts, which may relate to an increase in available news programs, as well as an overall increase in podcast listenership. The research also shows some listeners trust news heard on non-news podcasts. This may relate to interest in alternate sources for news and the storytelling formats used in the programs. When examining the trust of news content based on genre, news heard on comedy, news, and history podcasts are more likely to be trusted by listeners. The majority of gratifications associated with listening to podcasts based on the various genres are similar, with minimal differences seen among certain genres. Discussion of AI and its influence on trust in news heard on podcasts is also addressed.

You didn't hear this from me : (mostly) true notes on gossip
\"Can you keep a secret? As the pandemic forced us to socialize at a distance, Kelsey McKinney was mourning the juicy updates, jaw-dropping stories, and idle chatter that she'd typically collect over drinks with friends. She realized she wasn't the only one missing these little morsels and her hunger for this aspect of normalcy took on a life of its own and the blockbuster Normal Gossip podcast was born. With listenership in the millions and gossip quickly becoming her day job, Kelsey found herself with the urge to think more critically about gossip as a form, to better understand the role that it plays in our culture. In YOU DIDN'T HEAR THIS FROM ME, McKinney explores the murkiness of everyday storytelling. Why is gossip considered a sin and how can we better recognize when gossip is being weaponized against the oppressed? Why do we think we're entitled to every detail of a celebrity's personal life because they are a public figure? And how do we even define \"gossip,\" anyway? She dishes on the art of eavesdropping and dives deep into how pop culture has changed the way that we look at hearsay. But as much as the book aims to treat gossip as a subject worthy of rigor, it also hopes to capture the heart of gossiping: how enchanting and fun it can be to lean over and whisper something a little salacious into your friend's ear. With wit and honesty, McKinney unmasks what we're actually searching for when we demand to know the truth - and how much the truth really matters in the first place\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Effects of Non-Guided Versus Guided Podcast Production on Perception of English Reading Skills in Undergraduate Nursing Students: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Background: Nurses need strong English language skills to access knowledge and promote evidence-based practice. Podcast production is a promising pedagogical strategy to improve language skills. However, the effects of podcast production on nursing students’ perceived English reading proficiency and the most effective production instructional approaches remain unreported. Aim: To examine the impacts of podcast production on undergraduate nursing students’ perceptions of English reading skills and compare the effectiveness of two podcast production teaching methods. Design: A quasi-experimental study. Methods: 78 third-year nursing students in Northern Thailand were divided into an experimental group (n = 39) and a control group (n = 39). The experimental group received specific guidelines for podcast production, while the control group used a non-guided method. Outcomes included students’ perceptions of their English reading skills and the experimental group’s attitudes toward podcast production guidelines. Results: Pre-test scores for perceived English reading skills were similar between groups (t = −1.029, p = 0.307). ANCOVA revealed that after controlling for pre-test scores, the control group reported significantly higher adjusted post-test scores than the experimental group (F = 5.001, p = 0.028). Students in the experimental group expressed positive attitudes toward the podcast production guidelines. Conclusions: Both podcast production approaches were effective; however, the less-guided approach showed greater improvement in students’ perceptions of their English reading skills. This approach may encourage student autonomy, creativity and deeper engagement. Podcast production emerges as a valuable student-centred learning strategy to improve perceptions of language skills, but finding a balance between support and independence during instruction seems important to maximise its potential benefits.

Reflections on the production and use of interviews as a learning tool in educational podcasts for medical undergraduates
IntroductionThe therapeutic interview is one of the cornerstones of psychiatric practice. When practitioners are skilled in the art of interviewing, patients are allowed to share their narratives and explore their emotions, while the clinician can diagnose and treat more effectively. Discussions with colleagues can be used to share knowledge and experience. As part of a student project undertaken in Summer 2021, two students were tasked with producing a series of educational podcasts to be used for psychiatric training. Both students chose to complete several interviews with professionals in psychiatry. In this study, they will reflect on the efficacy of interviews as a learning tool, their experiences of podcast interviewing, and the transferable skills that they learned.ObjectivesTo reflect on the use of interviews within podcasts and how this can be transferred to practice.MethodsBased on the literature review, medical students conducted interviews with specialist clinicians in order to gain information around patient treatment. They then reflected on this experience.ResultsThe practice of interviewing allowed for the development of a range of skills. It improved communication with senior professionals, provided a deeper knowledge of different psychiatric fields, and developed the written skills needed for the creation of engaging questions.ConclusionsInterviews are a useful tool in educational podcasts and producing these helped medical students gain specialist insight and learning into different medical fields not thoroughly covered in the undergraduate curriculum. Producing the podcasts helped to develop the key skill of interviewing and communicating with more senior colleagues.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
