    Looking for podcast suggestions? We’ve got you covered. We asked Loomis faculty members to share their podcast playlists with us, and they offered a variety of suggestions as wide-ranging as their areas of personal interest and professional expertise. Here’s a collection of 85 of these free, downloadable audio shows for you to try, listed alphabetically with their “recommenders” listed below each entry: 30 for 30 You may be familiar with ESPN’s 30 for 30 series of award-winning sports documentaries on television. The podcasts of the same name are audio documentaries on similarly compelling subjects. Recent podcasts have looked at the man behind the Bikram Yoga fitness craze, racial activism by professional athletes, the origins of the hugely profitable Ultimate Fighting Championship, and the lasting legacy of the John Madden Football video game. Recommended by Elliott: “I love how it involves the culture of sports. You get an inner look on a sports story or event that you never really knew about. Brings real life and sports together in a fantastic way.” 99% Invisible From the podcast website: “Ever wonder how inflatable men came to be regular fixtures at used car lots? Curious about the origin of the fortune cookie? Want to know why Sigmund Freud opted for a couch over an armchair? 99% Invisible is about all the thought that goes into the things we don’t think about — the unnoticed architecture and design that shape our world.” Recommended by Scott ABCA Calls from the Clubhouse Interviews with coaches in the American Baseball Coaches Association Recommended by Donnie, who is head coach of varsity baseball and says the podcast covers “all aspects of baseball, culture, techniques, practices, strategy, etc.

It first identifies characteristics of a set of podcasts in the U.S. that allow them to be usefully described as public podcasting. Second, it looks at current business trends in podcasting as platformization proceeds. Third, it identifies threats to public podcasting’s current business practices. Finally, it analyzes responses within public podcasting to the potential threats. It concludes that currently, the public podcast ecology in the U.S. maintains some immunity from the most immediate threats, but that as well there are underappreciated threats to it both internally and externally. Keywords: podcasting, public media, platformization, business trends, public podcasting ecology As U.S. podcasting becomes an increasingly commercially-viable part of the media landscape, are its public-service functions at risk? This article explores that question, in the process postulating that the concept of public podcasting has utility in describing, not only a range of podcasting practices, but an ecology within the larger podcasting ecology—one that permits analysis of both business methods and social practices, one that deserves attention and even protection. This analysis contributes to the burgeoning literature on podcasting by enabling focused research in this area, permitting analysis of the sector in ways that permit thinking about the relationship of mission and business practice sector-wide.

  • General Manager's Newsletter | June 2021
    General Manager's Newsletter | June 2021 WPM on TV! Many public radio networks run spots on sister public television stations to build awareness for radio and to reach audiences that perhaps don’t listen to or know about public radio in their communities. WPM and Wyoming PBS initiated a swap. WPM airs messages about Wyoming PBS’s streaming service that brings public television to audiences who don’t get Wyoming PBS in their area. WPM gets a spot right next to Wyoming PBS’s popular Masterpiece, promoting the availability of public radio throughout Wyoming. Let there be no doubt that both services are seriously dedicated to reaching every nook and cranny in Wyoming! Take a look at WPM’s short message here. You’ll be hearing a new national voice on Morning Edition. A Martínez has been appointed host of NPR’s Morning Edition and Up First, joining Rachel Martin, Noel King and Steve Inskeep in the hosting lineup. He will start on July 6, and NPR will be announcing his first day on-air in the coming weeks. He will be based with the team at NPR West. In reflecting on the new role, A notes, “Nine years ago, I had never listened to public radio. I was about to start a new path that would change my career, and in a deeper way, my perspective on life. The time I’ve spent at KPCC proves that public radio journalism can be accessible, relatable and understandable to ANYONE, regardless of their background or educational pedigree. I’m excited to bring every experience I’ve had along the way to NPR and to represent Los Angeles and California the best way I can.” The Metropolitan Opera draws the curtain on another incredible Act! Mary Jo Heath has spent 15 years at the Met.

    May 6, 2019 Dear Parents/Guardians/Students: The focus of AP Language and Composition is nonfiction reading and becoming a world scholar, so in preparation for this type of reading we are asking you to listen to one podcast from list below and to continue to listen to new episodes from this podcast over the summer. • 99% Invisible: 99% Invisible is about all the thought that goes into the things we don’t think about — the unnoticed architecture and design that shape our world. • This American Life: Primarily a journalistic non-fiction program, it has also featured essays, memoirs, field recordings, short fiction, and found footage. • The Moth: Since its launch in 1997, The Moth has presented thousands of true stories, told live and without notes, to standing-room-only crowds worldwide. Moth storytellers stand alone, under a spotlight, with only a microphone and a roomful of strangers. The storyteller and the audience embark on a high-wire act of shared experience which is both terrifying and exhilarating. • Radiolab: Radiolab is a show about curiosity. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human experience. • StarTalk Radio: Radio program devoted to all things space and is hosted by renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson • Hidden Brain: Shankar Vedantam uses science and storytelling to reveal the unconscious patterns that drive human behavior, shape our choices and direct our relationships. • Revisionist History: Revisionist History is Malcolm Gladwell’s journey through the overlooked and the misunderstood. Every episode re-examines something from the past—an event, a person, an idea, even a song—and asks whether we got it right the first time.
