The Future of Scholarly Podcasting

The future of scholarly podcasting could go in many different ways, but there's a tension there. I don't think podcasting is about saving higher education in terms of all the problems of higher education when it comes to the way knowledge is produced now. Of conversations being open and collaborative: "It reminds us that we should hold on to our imaginations" It's not just some fluff, right? It's intellectual engagement, it's creating knowledge, et cetera and so on. But at the same time, I would be wary that they get pulled into the matrices of higher education, ranking and all of this complete nonsense, right?
