LISTEN/view — Three Podcasts, Three Formats
Hear/VIEW the guide in action
Reading about podcast formats is useful.
Hearing them is better.
Below are three sample episodes, each built around a different format and each paired with a full production reflection — the planning, recording and editing decisions that shaped it. Listen first, then read the reflection to see exactly how it was made.
Episode 1 — The Interview
Episode 1 — The Interview
In the Making: Creative Practice and the Activation of Care and Wellbeing
A conversational two-voice format. Host Mia Lindgren interviews Dr Cassandra Tytler about participatory arts research, structured around three questions and lifted with location sound. The most adaptable format for researchers starting out — no script required, just a good conversation.
Episode 2 — The Narrative Documentary
Episode 2 — The Narrative Documentary
The New York Experience: Jason Goopy
A single voice, no host, no back-and-forth. Dr Jason Goopy takes listeners through six months as a Fulbright scholar in New York, built entirely from field recordings, atmosphere and a reshaped interview. The most demanding format to produce, and the most immersive to hear.
Episode 3 — The Extended Chat
Let Them Be Heard: Delyse Clayden and Susan Main
A video format where two researchers interview each other, with the producer's questions edited out entirely. PhD candidate Delyse Clayden and her supervisor Dr Susan Main discuss Delyse's doctoral research on children with disabilities in the classroom, recorded from home with all the imperfection that entails — and it works.
