  </p><h3><strong>Session 5: Indie Podcasting as Public Scholarship</strong>
 </h3><p><strong>4:00-5:30pm</strong></p><p>This session will introduce the 
 audience to the practice of podcasting as public scholarship. While podcast
 ing as an industry has grown significantly since 2020\, morphing into flash
 y highly produced YouTube and TV series-style interviews\, the nuts and bol
 ts of podcasting can still be done for relatively cheap\, and are relativel
 y accessible. And the RSS feed means that it is still possible to produce e
 pisodes without needing to depend on a social media hosting platform or be 
 beholden to an algorithm. The pros and cons of indie podcasting will be dis
 cussed\, and there will also be a quick introduction to how to begin one’s 
 own podcast.</p><p>For more information\, contact Alan Richardson at alan.r
