New Aural Cultures presents PhDCasting 4: Summertime Blues. Ivor Richards, British Broadcast Audio, Falmouth University

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 Four: July 2019 - September 2019

The end of my first year as a PhD student. I present at the Falmouth University Research Summer Symposium and experience the dreaded PhD burnout. I'll talk about the need for good mental health as a postgraduate student.

In conversation, I talk to Ivor Richards, senior technician at Falmouth University School of Journalism. Ivor has many years of experience as a sound engineer and teaches podcasting to the students and staff at the university. He gives me some tips for producing a good podcast.
