In the present tumult of online media discourse, the contributors frame podcasting as indicative of a Nnew aural cultureO emerging from an identifiable set of industrial, technological and cultural circumstances. The analyses in this collection offer a range of interpretations which begin to open avenues for further research into a distinct Podcast Studies.
