Research interests for potential research students

My research is in the area of radio, with a focus on the relationship between radio (as an industry) and the internet, and in particular, in the area of podcasting as a new form of audio content. I recently completed a PhD by previously published work with a focus on my work in podcast studies. 

Research

My research is focused on the intersections between the radio industry and the internet; considering how trends such as podcasting and online visual content are changing the nature of the medium.

Sorry No Publications
