Only since I’ve started doing work on brain injury and sport have I been called an activist (multiple times), which tells me I’m finally doing something worthwhile with my research time, and I’m probably doing it right.

I noticed you didn’t have HΓΈgskulen pΓ₯ Vestlandet as an option for institution. We have a pretty big health department at our Bergen campus

I don’t know why more stand up comedians don’t just take up university lecturing. It’s basically crowd work with references.

Leadership also think students are computer literate - another sign of how far off it they are.

I think you need to be focusing on your sociology. Do better.

Practical takeaway for podcasters: Think critically about guest selection. Try to diversify across employer, qualifications, gender, ethnicity, and perspectives while still maintaining quality standards.
Good content and diverse voices aren’t mutually exclusive! πŸ’‘

Many hosts focus heavily on guest credentials - where they work, number of publications, doctoral quals - rather than their actual message. Perhaps this is with good intentions (curating quality content), but it can lead to the same voices being heard repeatedly.

But despite not being paid or influenced by third-party editorial processes, podcasters still impose editorial decisions on themselves, worrying about employers, sponsors & broader community.

So even though they’re β€œindependent,” they’re not actually free from gatekeeping processes.

We interviewed independent sport science podcasters who create open-access content (freely available to the public). We were able to add further nuance to what it means to be an β€œindependent” podcaster.

🧡New bit from me that’s been a nice side quest to develop my interviewing skills while exploring something I’m interested in, as a podcaster myself.
