Listening Journal

1a) Listening Journal

I’m entering the TRU Podcasting Masterclass with a very specific project in mind, which will guide my explorations and my answers to weekly assignments. In particular, I’m planning to produce a series of scholarly podcasts for a Canadian heritage not-for-profit in which a retired professor of Canadian history narrates selections of their most exciting research… Continue reading 1a) Listening Journal

This was a helpful first assignment because I probably do not often listen to podcasts (or perhaps I just don’t think I do). I have listened to audiobooks, old original and revamped radio dramas. There is something about the creativity of audio without the visual that is refreshing. For radio dramas, interviews, or a program… Continue reading Untitled

What format was most compelling for you to listen to? the format that was most compelling for me to listen are usually cover station formatted podcasts. These podcasts are compelling for me personally since the podcasts I listen to talk about social issues and its like a conversation with other people and its nice to… Continue reading listening journal

Listen-In Journal (1a)

I have been listening to podcasts since about 2005. It was a great way to pretend I was doing something instead of research and writing my dissertation. I would listen in to folk talking about literary analysis and it made me forget that I should be doing my own literary analysis. The podcasts I choose… Continue reading Listen-In Journal (1a)

Noah’s Listening Journal 1a

I love to listen to podcasts and audio books when I drive. When I had a very long commute into Vancouver I went through a lot of them, when I moved to Calgary I had a very short commute so it was mostly when I was driving to other cities for work. Now that I… Continue reading Noah’s Listening Journal 1a

The first podcast I remember downloading and listening from a podcast app was Brain Science with Ginger Campbell, MD. This podcast is very nerdy in the best sense. Dr Campbell finds a book on neuroscience, soaks it up, then brings the author of that book on her show for an in-depth discussion. It’s very predictably… Continue reading my listening journal

1a. The Parasocial Social Club

Since the start of the pandemic, I have delved deeply into online media spaces in a way that I just didn’t before. I knew podcasts existed, I listened to Welcome to Nightvale, but that was pretty much it. I used YouTube as a music discovery source. Now I use YouTube as a sort of extended… Continue reading 1a. The Parasocial Social Club

Hmm, so many choices!

After listening to examples of different podcast styles, two appear to be my favourites. I enjoy the interview and documentary styles of podcasts. This is probably the case because of what I hope to use podcasts for from an academic perspective. I teach social work at a college in northern Alberta. I’ve started to include… Continue reading Hmm, so many choices!

Planning my sound

I’m learning toward interview/conversational because I want the podcast to be about bringing people together because I think they should meet each other. I believe it will start with an introductory essay on a theme that connects with the people I’ll be inviting into the conversation. Then move into the conversation. I’d like to end… Continue reading Planning my sound

Listening journal – CAdam

I’ve been reflecting a great deal this week about the podcast listening I do and when. In fairly frequent rotation as I walk back and forth to work are The Daily, We Can Do Hard Things, both Brene Brown podcasts, Smartless, the Moth, Mortified, Revisionist History, Longform, Modern Love, Good Ancestor Podcast… On car trips… Continue reading Listening journal – CAdam
