Recenzje

"From the rich details and engaging topics on the podcasts featured in these pages, to the crisp writing about the hosts, their guests and the counternarratives of decolonization, everything about this book is a breath of fresh air. Higdon and Baham have set the standard for designing compelling and original research and imparting the wisdom of their findings about this popular medium and the extraordinary producers who have harnessed its discursive powers." - Robin Andersen, Professor Emerita at Fordham University"In Podcaster's Dilemma: Decolonizing Podcasters in the Era of Surveillance Capitalism, scholars Baham and Higdon, podcasters themselves, deliver a major, breakthrough study on an exploding medium...Well-researched, powerfully argued, cautious but optimistic, Baham and Higdon's The Podcaster's Dilemma gives the reader a broad yet deep understanding of the media ecology around this wildly popular format while offering sage advice regarding the direction it could take to become a major force for decolonizing major sectors of society. A gripping and important read for our times." - Mickey Huff, director of Project Censored, president of the Media Freedom Foundation; professor of social science, history, and journalism, Diablo Valley College.
