  • My favorite academic podcast.

    I’ve been listening to the Defend, Publish and Lead podcast for years, and it’s been invaluable for improving my academic writing practice. The advice is highly actionable, and the short episodes are easy to fit into a commute (or during a run, which is most often for me). Any tenure-track and tenured professor will find the podcast quite valuable. I highly recommend it.
