The Amplify Podcast Network Manifesto: On Scholarly Podcasting and Collaborative Experimentation

We are the Amplify Podcast Network and we are reimagining the sound of scholarship. The Amplify manifesto is a collaborative soundwork that expresses the core values of the Amplify Podcast Network, an academic podcasting research project and community. This work advocates for scholarly podcasting as an innovative form of academic publishing. We believe that scholarly podcasts create new knowledge, out loud and in conversation, by embracing experimentation, making space for different voices, and building new communities through collaboration and openness. Co-created by Stacey Copeland and Hannah McGregor, and sound-designed by Copeland, the manifesto embodies the Amplify project ethos of playfulness, experimentation, and inclusivity we argue is essential to the growth of podcasting as an academic form.
