For this episode, we recorded the sounds of U.S. Interstate 77, which runs rights next to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. These are the sounds one hears in the parking lot next to the museum and facility. The ambient soundscape, brooding, repetitive, and industrial, offer an immersive soundscape for critically reflecting on football and its function within broader society. We approached the episode as a form of "sound art," in which the goal is the artistic, creative expression of an idea. Through episodes like this one, we hope to explore podcasting as sound art and the act of listening as an experience that is active, affective, and embodied.

In this episode of Somatic, we talk with Professor Brett Hutchins of Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. As an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellow, Prof. Hutchins has been developing research on The Mobile Media Sport Moment: Markets, Technologies, Power. As an integral part of his research program, Prof. Hutchins developed his MediaSport Podcast Series, in which he interviews leading international researchers and scholars on the prescient sociocultural, political, and economic issues related to sport and media technology. Now with twenty-seven episodes, MediaSport has become one of the multiple successful sport studies podcasts available to listeners all over the world via online audio platforms such as iTunes and Soundcloud. In the episode, we talk at length with Prof. Hutchins about his experience with MediaSport and podcasting in general, as well as ask him for his insight on the significance of the current “digital media sport” (Hutchins & Rowe, 2013) moment and the importance of digital audio forms for researchers and scholars of sport.
