“…In addition to informal personal development, podcasts are emerging as a tool that can be used in formal education in-class or online as an assignment in a flipped classroom model (Birch & Weitkamp, 2010;Hadjianastasis & Nightingale, 2016). Educators have been encouraged during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to create podcasts in their field of study to disseminate their work to wider audiences, and publications are increasing on the potential and documented success of podcasts in higher education fields such as conservation (Strickland et al, 2021), kinesiology (McNamara et al, 2021, medicine (Rodmand & Trivedi, 2020), nursing and midwifery (O'Connor et al, 2020), plant pathology (Lim & Swenson, 2021), and sports management (Johnston et al, 2021). Podcast interviews have the potential to introduce equity by providing an alternative to guest lectures who may be restricted to travel due to financial, personal, or external barriers (internet connectivity, time zone differences, and pandemic).…”
