An irregular podcast featuring discussions about digital society by staff and students at Charles Sturt University, Australia.
As much as it might seem natural to participate in the creation of media and culture through uploading photos to Instagram, slapping text on an image to create a meme, setting video to a trending song on TikTok, or producing a podcast and sending it out onto the web, this mode of media production is unusual by recent historical standards. This episode discusses participatory media and the way it has been used by businesses, with a special case study of LEGO Ideas.
