(Bonus) Unveiling the Art of Podcasting with Hannah Preston and Jana Javornik

Research Culture Uncovered

In our fortnightly Research Culture Uncovered conversations we are asking what is Research Culture and why does it matter? In this bonus episode, Ged Hall, Academic Development Consultant for Research Impact, chats to Hannah Preston, Research Communications Manager from Leeds University Business School, and Dr Jana Javornik, Associate Professor of Work and Employment Relations, also in the Business School.

Hannah has been the driving force behind the Business School's Research and Innovation podcast since 2020. She joined forces with Jana in late 2023 to launch a new podcast called The Business of Policymaking.

The three key takeaways from the discussion of podcasting in the academic field were:

1. Podcasts are a powerful tool for transforming complex academic research into accessible discussions, broadening its impact.

2. Cultivating a dedicated listener base that can translate insights into action is more valuable than chasing download statistics.

3. Hosting podcasts offers unique learning experiences and the opportunity to hear from a diverse range of influential voices.

Hannah also mentioned the Business School's Research and

Innovation blog in the interview.
