//podcastplus.net/feed/my-masters-thesis-but-its-a-podcast-about-podcasts~3880d24a The title is accurate! Exploring ideas and characteristics that shape and define podcasting, with podcast creators James D’Amato, Hannah Sung, Pippa Johnstone, Justin McElroy, Nana aba Duncan, and a number of podcast listeners. Wed, 10 Jun 2026 02:28:05 +0000 https://www.buzzsprout.com/1178936/episodes/5044769-8-endnotes.mp3 This episode is structured into Endnotes, and pulls from all the previous episodes--because it's the last (official) one! The first few Endnotes are additional thoughts that I wanted to squeeze in, including: the centrality of listeners, the relationship between podcasting and academia, and questions about podcast futures. The last few Endnotes tie the interviews together. One includes everyone’s responses to how podcasts serve "to make ourselves feel oriented." Another identifies a theme that was present throughout a lot of the conversations, and that may help us to articulate why we, individually and culturally, have gravitated so strongly to podcasts.
