Podcasting is one of the most direct ways to share research with the world. It lets people hear the thinking, the uncertainty, and the humanity behind the findings — not just the published result.

This guide walks you through the whole journey: the rationale for scholarly podcasting, and then the practical craft of planning, interviewing, recording, editing, and publishing your own show. Each section pairs a short read with downloadable resources you can put to work straight away.

Whether you are producing audio or video, you will find tested, practical guidance drawn from our own experience making research podcasts. Start at the beginning, or jump to the part you need.
