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.

  • Podcasting As Public Media: the Future of U.S
    International Journal of Communication 14(2020), 1683–1704 1932–8036/20200005 Podcasting as Public Media: The Future of U.S. News, Public Affairs, and Educational Podcasts PATRICIA AUFDERHEIDE American University, USA DAVID LIEBERMAN The New School, USA ATIKA ALKHALLOUF American University, USA JIJI MAJIRI UGBOMA The New School, USA This article identifies a U.S.-based podcasting ecology as public media and then examines the threats to its future. It first identifies characteristics of a set of podcasts in the United States 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. The article concludes that currently, the public podcast ecology in the United States maintains some immunity from the most immediate threats, but there are also underappreciated threats to it, both internally and externally. Keywords: podcasting, public media, platformization, business trends, public podcasting ecology As U.S. podcasting becomes a 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 also an ecology within the larger podcasting ecology—one that permits analysis of both business methods and social practices, and one that deserves attention and even protection. This analysis contributes to the burgeoning literature on Patricia Aufderheide: [email protected] David Lieberman: [email protected] Atika Alkhallouf: [email protected] Jiji Majiri Ugboma: [email protected] Date submitted: 2019‒09‒27 Copyright © 2020 (Patricia Aufderheide, David Lieberman, Atika Alkhallouf, and Jiji Majiri Ugboma).

Some research has investigated motivations of podcasters and listeners using quantitive methods. However, little is known about perspectives of podcast users and producers with respect to technological and cultural changes in the medium. This dissertation outlines findings from interviews conducted with podcast users and a podcast producer that lays out thoughts about the medium on themes like technology, production, distribution etc. Page !3 of !79 Introduction Podcasting, an automated subscription-based system of recorded audio/video content powered by the internet, finds its origins in the early 2000s and witnessed wide adoption in 2005. This makes podcasting older than Facebook or Twitter, two very popular products of the internet age. Although, podcasting has not been able to replicate the same success as those social networking sites, it has had a few pivotal moments that left an indelible impact on the digital media industry.

  • The Unexplored New Medium: Recent Trends in Podcast Advertising
    The Unexplored New Medium: Podcast Advertising by Molly McGowan — 97 The Unexplored New Medium: Recent Trends in Podcast Advertising Molly K. McGowan* Journalism Elon University Abstract This research paper explores advertising in podcasts – a relatively new medium – to see if there has been an increase in the amount of advertising since 2007, when Daniel Haygood did a similar study, and to observe if any trends have emerged in podcast advertising. Through listening to and coding episodes of the top ten podcasts on iTunes for six weeks, the research found that while a significant amount of podcasts lacked advertising, there were consistent advertising trends in those podcasts that did have advertisements. Ads in podcasts tended to appear at the beginnings and ends of episodes, creating a “bookend” effect, and the same products or services often appeared in episodes of the same podcast. Also, podcasts produced as episodes of regular radio broadcasts that shared the same broadcasting station, such as NPR, also tended to share the same advertisers. I. Introduction Declared as the word of the year by the New Oxford American Dictionary in 2005, “podcasting” is real, and so are its implications in advertising (Levinson, 2007). As a medium still emerging amid the slew of “alternative media” options, podcasting remains largely unexplored by advertisers today. Given the relatively low production cost of creating a podcast – as low as $5,000 per episode – and the millions of consumers each podcast can reach, one would think advertisers would be scrambling to get their products into a podcast (Zucker, 2008), especially since research shows that “those who downloaded podcasts are the kind of target audience advertisers crave; well educated, high incomes [and] technologically astute” (Haygood, 2007).

Children will need to disregard or provide inaccurate information on their age in order to access these sites. The following sites are most popular with children of primary school age but none of these sites are endorsed by Parklands Junior School as being appropriate for primary aged children Oovoo WhatsApp Instagram Tumblr Twitter Snapchat Oovoo Oovoo is a free video, voice, and messaging app. Users can have group chats with up to 12 people for free and it's common for children to log on after school and keep it open while doing homework. What parents need to know You can only chat with approved friends. Users can only communicate with those on their approved contact lists, which can help ease parents' safety concerns. It can be distracting. Because the service makes video-chatting so affordable and accessible, it also can be addictive WhatsApp WhatsApp lets users send text messages, audio messages, videos, and photos to one or many people with no message limits or fees. What parents need to know It's for users 16 and over. Lots of younger children seem to be using the app, but this age minimum has been set by WhatsApp. After you sign up, it automatically connects you to all the people in your address book who also are using WhatsApp. It also encourages you to add friends who haven't signed up yet.
