From the podcast's website: The goal of this podcast is to discuss the challenges and successes of researching popular culture and how methods are central to the work regardless of our training. Also, for aspiring researchers and practitioners, teachers of popular culture often just say “go analyze” when popular culture has such a rich repertoire of approaches across disciplines and professional contexts. This podcast will interview folks from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds who use popular culture in their day to day work, scholarship, and creative avenues. We are always looking for guests so feel free to email me at dcorwin@gmu.edu if you are interested or know of someone.
