Amplified is an audio blog series about the sounds of scholarship from our team here at the Amplify Podcast Network. This month on Amplified, we sit down with podcast scholars Ian M Cook, Lori Beckstead, and Hannah McGregor to unpack the key provocations, or what the authors term the key 'f**keries,' of their forthcoming book- Podcast or Perish: Peer Review and Knowledge Creation for the 21st Century. We discuss their hot takes on collaborative writing, alternative forms of peer review, and why the trio claims scholarly podcasting is currently 'unsound.'
