摘要在这篇文章中，我们认为播客作为一种地理研究方法的潜力和局限性，通过反思我们自己的播客项目，专注于研究生工会运动。我们发现播客媒介使我们能够以创新的方式进行这项研究。首先，播客可以通过演讲者的声音传达数据的内在元素，这可能会改变观众对研究的反应。其次，对对话的强调改变了我们收集、分析和呈现数据的方式，创造了一种更具多样性的产品。第三，播客提供了接触更广泛受众的机会。播客也提出了方法上的挑战;有限的时间和技术专长，不同的参与者目标，以及分配的挑战限制了我们干预工会化辩论的潜力。尽管存在这些障碍，播客作为一种方法可以使地理学家以新的方式参与学术和公共辩论，为紧迫的社会和环境问题提供更容易获得的地理知识形式。
ABSTRACT In this article, we consider the potentials and limitations of podcasts as a geographic research method by reflecting upon our own podcast project that focused on a graduate student unionization movement. We found that the podcast medium allowed us to approach this study in innovative ways. First, podcasts can communicate visceral elements of data through speakers’ voices, potentially changing how an audience responds to the research. Second, an emphasis on dialogue changes the way we collect, analyze, and present data, creating a more polyvocal product. Third, podcasts present opportunities to reach broader audiences. Podcasts also raise methodological challenges; limited time and technical expertise, diverging participant goals, and distribution challenges limited the potential of our intervention into the unionization debate. Despite these obstacles, the podcast-as-method could enable geographers to engage in academic and public debates in new ways, providing more accessible forms of geographic knowledge on pressing social and environmental issues.
