The Podcast Studies Podcast hosts Lori and Dario have finally published their edited volume Podcast Studies: Practice into Theory (Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2025). The book contains 18 chapters written by scholars who podcast or use podcasting in their academic or teaching endeavours. Their insights contribute to our understanding of what the discipline of podcast studies is and can be. We asked our authors to pair up with another contributor to discuss their respective chapters, creating an opportunity to find synergies and insights through conversation. In this episode, Dr. Samuel M. Clevenger and Martin Feld delve into the intersections of their respective chapters, "On Idleness and Podcasting" and "Autoethnography of an Amateur Tech Podcaster".
