18:59Spill the tea - we want to hear from you! This is part of an online research project into the use of podcasting in higher education pedagogy. You can find the project here: https://sking47.wixsite.com/website-2. Today, we’re diving into the blueprint for crafting educational podcasts that are not only engaging but empirically valuable. Imagine a podcast that doesn't just share knowledge but transforms how we learn—providing tools, strategies, and fresh perspectives on education. In this episode, we explore what makes a teaching podcast truly worthwhile, from platform selection and content structure to techniques that foster deep learning and self-directed discovery. You’ll gain insights into how platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts influence learning styles and the future of educational media. We discuss the core elements: defining “podcast” in today’s landscape, why decentralized content remains a game-changer, and how platforms are evolving towards “walled gardens.” We also look at key research findings: how varied podcast formats, from short instructionals to in-depth interviews, foster diverse learning experiences. Through studies and prototypes, we uncover strategies for creating content that engages and inspires both students and faculty, from review formats to literature discussions that spark curiosity. Whether you're an educator looking to enhance your teaching methods or a curious learner, this episode is packed with actionable insights on designing a podcast that is as practical as it is purposeful. Tune in, take note (or don’t!), and let’s explore how to make learning on-demand both effective and enjoyable.…

Is the global political and corporate leadership really committed to the long haul, or are they merely ticking boxes to appease a growingly conscientious society?

Today, we shed light on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, dissecting the shortcomings and challenges in actualizing these targets.
