The Potentials and Pitfalls of Podcasting to Push the Epistemological Boundaries of Action Research

In this paper, we discuss the potential role of podcasting as a mainstream element of action research work and dissemination. Pulling from debates in qualitative and action research literatures about epistemology, voice, and participation, we make the case that podcasting, despite many possible challenges because of its possibilities for misinformation, can add innovative contributions to the field that push the epistemological boundaries of research dissemination. We conclude with a conversation on fostering consensus about how to create collaborative processes for informative, trustworthy, and useful podcasts in action research.
