The world of podcasts and podcasting is ever-proliferating, with “influencers”, journalists, artists, performers, scholars, and public intellectuals of all stripes using the medium to promote their ideas, provoke conversation, tell a story, point toward other resources, sell their own books, or just become more visible (or “hearable” in the auditory landscape). This post offers a small sampling of podcasts that speak to social media and its impact, social psychology and group behavior, intellectual freedom/viewpoint diversity, disinformation, and aspects of scholarship such as peer review, and judging expertise.
