PhDCasting aims to be research through podcasting practice. Jerry Padfield documents his personal reflections of a journey through a PhD at Falmouth University, researching #podcasting and #CommunityRadio practice for wellbeing. The podcast talks about the experience of completing a PhD, from the perspective of a research student: the milestones, the emotional highs and lows, and also becomes a research tool in itself, interrogating the embodied knowledge within the practice. Each episode also features a conversation with a practitioner discussing issues around podcasting and broadcasting.

Quarter Six: January 2020 - March 2020

I present some of my work at the MeCCSA 2020 conference in Brighton. The “Confirmation of Route” process looms dangerously close, so I explain what that is and how it can be helpful. Sometimes called the PhD upgrade or Candidature Exam at other institutions it marks a point where your research so far is assessed to worthy of PhD status (or not!)

I talk to Dr Sherezade Garcia Rangel, academic at Falmouth University School of Communication and creator of “On The Hill” podcast which documents the stories behind the gravestones at a cemetery in Falmouth. On The Hill mixes creative writing, research, storytelling and documentary style podcasting. I talked to Sherezade about podcasting as research and her experience coming to the podcast form from a creative writing background.
