I’m thrilled to launch Really Specific Stories, a PhD podcast that explores tech-podcast fandom with creators and listeners.

At launch, there are three episodes: an intro and interviews with my @HemisphericViews co-hosts, @Burk and @canion—plus more to come!

Listen today.

@martinfeld Woohoo!!! Congratulations!

@canion Thank you very much! ❤️

@martinfeld Also this photo is amazing. Even got the show on the iPod!

@martinfeld this is so cool! I can’t wait to see where this goes!!

*you don’t have to have an iPod to listen 😉

@canion I couldn’t exclude the iPod! 😂 Thanks again.

@Burk 😂😂😂 That would be a fun rule! Thanks, Jason.

@martinfeld congrats! I’ll check it out.

@martinfeld "explain how and why it acts as a form of creative resistance against big tech, news media and broadcasters, based on the open technology of RSS" sounds amazing. look forward to listening!

@martinfeld awesome! Adding it to my queue right now. 🎉

@martinfeld listening now. Congratulations!

I’ll make sure to skip that episode, but I’m looking forward to listen to the rest. 😎

@furstenberg @ericmwalk @johnjohnston @ChrisJWilson Thank you all for trying the show and of course, I welcome feedback here on Micro.blog! It’s part of an academic project but I also want it to be open and accessible.

@martinfeld Congratulations on the launch. Topic sounds really interesting. Will give it a listen today.

@lmika Thanks (in advance) for your time in listening!

@martinfeld Oh wow, congrats Martin! 🎉 Gonna take a listen to this tomorrow.

@martinfeld Thanks for spreading the word!!!

@martinfeld I like the setup you have there 👌🏽

@amit It was good fun to assemble! Thank you.

@martinfeld in the intro the bit about Narrative Enquiry was really interesting as was you ethics. A pal of mine did a phd study of teachers use of twitter using what he called 'flânography'. Which chimed for me. I love the idea of open RSS being important. I also like podcasts with direct links to the mp3s so I can huffduff them for later. This is tricky with some of the big players. Not Really Specific Stories 👍

@johnjohnston Thank you for listening and pointing out the importance of ethics and openness! I’m glad that came across clearly.

Also, I appreciate the link! I hadn’t heard that term and will make sure to have a look. 🙂
