  • Excellent and wide ranging

    The 'New Books Network' is remarkable for its cogent, easy-to-listen-to author interviews, but the NBN Communications podcast is excellent. It's just getting started, but the future looks bright.

Laura Garbes, "Listeners Like Who?: Exclusion and Resistance in the Public Radio Industry" (Princeton UP, 2025)
Q: What is the impact of funding on public radio and its content?
Funding shapes who gets to tell stories, often favoring those who fit into the core demographic of white, middle-class listeners, leading to a narrowing of diverse narratives.
Laura Garbes, "Listeners Like Who?: Exclusion and Resistance in the Public Radio Industry" (Princeton UP, 2025)
Q: How do marginalized voices experience public radio?
They often contend with the standard white voices in public radio, facing challenges regardless of whether they conform to the typical public radio voice.
Laura Garbes, "Listeners Like Who?: Exclusion and Resistance in the Public Radio Industry" (Princeton UP, 2025)
Q: What are you talking about with that kind of theoretical framework of white institutional space?
Most American industries are not racially neutral and are historically constructed, influencing the authority and expertise linked with the white professional class.
j. Siguru Wahutu, "In the Shadow of the Global North: Journalism in Postcolonial Africa" (Cambridge UP, 2025)
Q: How do historical legacies continue to shape professional norms in African journalism?
Historical legacies influence how journalism is conducted, rooted in colonial experiences, and impact journalism's role in the modern context.
j. Siguru Wahutu, "In the Shadow of the Global North: Journalism in Postcolonial Africa" (Cambridge UP, 2025)
Q: What does better mean now in journalism?
Better relates to contextually relevant reporting rather than a comparison to Western media standards.
