Welcome to Pubcasts. This episode is called: How academic podcasting can change academia and its relationship with society: A conversation and guide.

This latest entry in our series of Pubcasts, audio-book style recordings of peer reviewed scientific research, is an article about podcasting in academia and the ways in which the author's (all podcast makers themselves) have found value in integrating podcasting into their own scholarly work.

Pubcasts are hosted by the Conservation of Change Lab (www.conservationofchange.org) as a part of Coastal Routes Radio, and are an ongoing project to experiment with science communication and making research more accessible and digestible to both scientific and general audiences. We were inspired to start Pubcasts via our own love of podcasts, demystifying science and the role of researchers in science, and the power of the human voice.

We hope you enjoy. You can find more Pubcasts from the Coastal Routes project at www.coastalroutes.org/pubcasts.
