Today’s guests are my colleagues in podcasting—Joe Levitan, Adam Stieglitz, Shikha Diwakar, and Vanessa Gold –the AR Podcast team, which they call “the first podcast dedicated solely to Action Research.” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-action-research-podcast/id1530092194

The podcast is “intended mostly for those interest in research and social change” and tackles tricky issues in the Action Research process, like reflexivity, collaboration, rigor, and iteration through discussions with established and emerging action researchers.

This episode is the second part of a collaborative podcast with them on their podcast (click on the link above to hear the first part!).
