Over seventy-five million Americans listen to podcasts every month,
and the average weekly listener spends over six hours tuning into
podcasts from the more than thirty million podcast episodes
currently available. Yet despite the excitement over podcasting,
the sounds of podcasting's nascent history are vulnerable and they
remain mystifyingly difficult to research and preserve. Podcast
feeds end abruptly, cease to be maintained, or become housed in
proprietary databases, which are difficult to search with any
rigor. Podcasts might seem to be highly available everywhere, but
it's necessary to preserve and analyze these resources now, or
scholars will find themselves writing, researching, and thinking
about a past they can't fully see or hear.This collection gathers
the expertise of leading and emerging scholars in podcasting and
digital audio in order to take stock of podcasting's recent history
and imagine future directions for the format. Essays trace some of
the less amplified histories of the format and offer discussions of
some of the hurdles podcasting faces nearly twenty years into its
existence. Using their experiences building and using the PodcastRE
database-one of the largest publicly accessible databases for
searching and researching podcasts-the volume editors and
contributors reflect on how they, as media historians and cultural
researchers, can best preserve podcasting's booming audio cultures
and the countless voices and perspectives podcasting adds to our
collective soundscape.
