Omschrijving
This is a unique, innovative, and thorough treatment of the contested subject of peer review and nontraditional scholarly output. The authors deconstruct, critique, and reimagine peer review in general while examining the potential of (and in many cases actual instances of) podcasting peer review as a medium and as a meta forum for reimagining this process. This forward thinking, optimistic, and solution-oriented volume presents a solid case for legitimizing podcasts as scholarly output. As a reader, one feels to be in the room with these authors, as they would want us to – that is, in fact, their central point.

Provocative, playful and pointed in its analysis of the production and evaluation of scholarly knowledge, this book is informed by a deep understanding of podcasting and the audio medium. It illuminates how podcasting, with its focus on voice, conversation and participation, can greatly advance the accessibility of scholarly knowledge. The book will help academics frustrated by the limitations of print-based peer review understand – and experiment with - the alluring power of podcasting in teaching, learning and research contexts.
Podcast or Perish succinctly and clearly highlights the possibilities that scholarly podcasting offers researchers and learners of all kinds. This timely book is uniquely suited to our present moment of rapid change and uncertainty in higher education. Academics have the tools to revise (and resubmit) the standards of peer review and in this refreshing and engaging book the podcast is presented as a means for not only rethinking our work, but also for carving out an auditory space for scholarly discourse in an era of transformation.
Lori Beckstead is a podcaster and Associate Professor in the RTA School of Media at Toronto Metropolitan University, Canada, who loves dad jokes, footnotes, and bandying about the word ‘neoliberalism’. Ian M. Cook is an anthropologist from a magical place where giant gingers are produced. He works for OLIve - the Open Learning Initiative in Hungary, which provides adult education for people who have experienced displacement. Hannah McGregor is a podcaster, writer, and Associate Professor of Publishing at Simon Fraser University, Canada. She always has an automated email reply on, even when she’s not on holiday.
