Team Five, the Jazzy Awesome Legendary Genius Minds (also known as the humble team), chose podcasts as our focus technology. Over the last couple of weeks, we have all been listening to CBC\u2019s The Secret Life of Canada. In our preliminary explorations, we found a plethora of podcasts that piqued our unique interests, but we landed on The Secret Life of Canada because it is comprised of podcasts covering a broad range of topics, so we all found podcast episodes we were interested in both individually and as a group.  As well, access was free and did not require logging in to a streaming service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we embarked on our listening adventures and began digging into podcast-related literature, we were pleasantly surprised by a number of insights. First, we realized that there are podcasts for everyone; as long as one has access to a device and interests to explore, there are podcasts available that will meet their needs. Second, we discovered that podcasts are highly popular because they are convenient, customizable, provide listeners with the opportunity to \u201cfeed their brain\u201d (Perks and Turner, 2019, p. 108) and allow users to timeshift in that they can be listened to anytime, anywhere (McClung and Johnson, 2010). Finally, we became aware of the many critical issues that exist alongside podcasts and in our initial discussions we brainstormed extensive lists of possible issues to explore. The infographic below summarizes the critical issues we each decided to focus on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would be prudent to be mindful that podcasts, like any widely accessible technology, bring questions around credible and accurate information to the fore. That being said, however, the most powerful and significant revelation we had, both individually and as a team, is that podcasts are, by nature, stories. Stories about education, lived experiences, culture, politics, marketing, community, tradition, and more; podcasts are a powerful vehicle for diverse voices to be heard by wide audiences. Just like a good book read over and over again feels like an old friend, the stories told through podcasts have the potential to connect listeners to the world and the people, places, and events that matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
