In this special episode recorded live at the 2024 African Studies Association's Conference in Chicago, we delve into the vibrant world of academic podcasting with scholar-creators: Peter Alegi (Michigan State University), Bamba Ndiaye (Emory University), Reginold Royston (University of Wisconsin), Dean Rehberger (Michigan State University) and Michael Green. Drawing on their deep experience as researchers and podcasters, they share how podcasting can serve as a dynamic tool to disseminate scholarly work, foster critical pedagogy, and build public intellectual communities across borders.
From practical insights on integrating audio storytelling into classrooms and research agendas to strategies for monetizing content and leveraging AI for streamlined production, the conversation unfolds as both visionary and grounded. The episode also highlights the flourishing of podcasting on the African continent, where creators are reimagining sonic archives and challenging the boundaries of scholarly communication. Whether you're new to academic podcasting or eager to take your work to the next level, this episode is your soundcheck for the future.
