Now two decades old, podcasting is an exuberant medium where new voices can be found every day. As a powerful communications tool that is largely unregulated and unusually accessible, this influential medium is attracting scholarly scrutiny across a range of fields, from media and communications to history, criminology, and gender studies. Hailed for intimacy and authenticity in an age of mistrust and disinformation, podcasts have developed fresh models for storytelling, entertainment, and the casual imparting of knowledge. Podcast hosts have forged strong parasocial relationships that attract advertisers, brands, and major platforms, but can also be leveraged for community, niche, and publi...
The Snowy Mountains hydro-electric scheme still ranks as one of the world's great engineering feats. Two-thirds of the 100,000 workers were immigrants, newly arrived from over 40 countries in war-weary Europe. This is their story, and the story of a new, post-war, multi-cultural Australia.
Presents the funny, tragic and intensely personal stories of over fifty women who were deeply involved in the Vietnam War, in both the combat zone and the home front.

"The rise of podcasts has been exponential. An audio format that was largely unknown until recently now fills the lives of millions of listeners who can get on with other things at the same time. Podcasts have become an essential part of popular culture, and a new way to absorb information that once might have been read in newspapers, books, or magazines or part of current affairs radio. Indeed, many media platforms also have their own accompanying podcasts and radio has remade itself by becoming "podcastable." In this original book, Siobháan McHugh-an award-winning podcast creator and teacher-dissects what makes a good podcast and outlines how it is done. How do you tell a complicated and compelling story through sound? How can journalists and newspapers use podcasts? How can organizations big and small use podcasting to get their message out? Packed with case studies, examples, tips and techniques, this is the first and most authoritative book of its kind"--
The Snowy: A History tells the extraordinary story of the mostly migrant workforce who built one of the world's engineering marvels.This classic, prize-winning account of the remarkable Snowy Scheme is available again for the 70th anniversary of this epic nation-building project. The Snowy Scheme was an extraordinary engineering feat carried out over twenty-five years from 1949 to 1974, one that drove rivers through tunnels built through the Australian alps, irrigated the dry inland and generated energy for the densely populated east coast.The Snowy Mountains Scheme was also a site of post-war social engineering that helped create a diverse multicultural nation. Siobhán McHugh's in-depth interviews with those who were there at the time reveals the human stories of migrant workers, high country locals, politicians and engineers. It also examines the difficult and dangerous aspects of such a major construction in which 121 men lost their lives. Rich and evocative, this sweeping narrative tells stories of love, endurance, tragedy and hard work during a transformative time.

In talking about contemporary media, we often use a language of newness, applying words like “revolution” and “disruption.” Yet, the emergence of new sound media technologies and content—from the earliest internet radio broadcasts to the development of algorithmic music services and the origins of podcasting—are not a disruption, but a continuation of the century-long history of radio. Today’s most innovative media makers are reintroducing forms of audio storytelling from radio’s past. Sound Streams is the first book to historicize radio-internet convergence from the early ’90s through the present, demonstrating how so-called new media represent an evolutionary shift that i...
This comprehensive companion is a much-needed reference source for the expanding field of radio, audio, and podcast study, taking readers through a diverse range of essays examining the core questions and key debates surrounding radio practices, technologies, industries, policies, resources, histories, and relationships with audiences. Drawing together original essays from well-established and emerging scholars to conceptualize this multidisciplinary field, this book’s global perspective acknowledges radio’s enduring affinity with the local, historical relationship to the national, and its unpredictably transnational reach. In its capacious understanding of what constitutes radio, this c...
