Every day, millions of listeners listen to podcasts to teach themselves about the humanities, sciences, and other academic topics, selecting the programs and hosts that suit their learning styles. From professionals in studios to hobbyists in bedroom closets; from tenured academics to energetic young enthusiasts, producers of educational audio are a diverse set. But they share a common goal – distilling complex information into lectures, conversations and interviews that are free and accessible to everyone in the world.
Sound Education is a 2-day conference at Harvard University for educational and academic podcasters and radio hosts, and their listeners. It is hosted by Ministry of Ideas, a podcast based at Harvard Divinity School.
On Friday, November 2, ten panel presentations, followed by discussions, will be hosted by prominent podcasters from various fields. Saturday, November 3 will feature a keynote address by Dan Carlin of Hardcore History as well as public talks held by some of the most influential voices in academic podcasting. All panels and talks will be held at the historic Andover Hall located at 45 Francis Avenue, Cambridge, MA.
