Amplified is an audio blog series about the sounds of scholarship from our team here at the Amplify Podcast Network. This month on Amplified, I'm joined by Robert Cassanello, associate professor of History at the University of Central Florida. More importantly for our context here, he is an early advocate for the peer review of podcasts as scholarship, and the co-founder of H-Podcast, part of the online humanities and social sciences forum H-Net. Together we unpack the development of Robert's early podcast pursuits and where he hopes to see the academic podcast community headed next.
