The growth of scholarly podcasting engenders radical possibilities for how we conceive of knowledge creation and peer review. By investigating the historical development of the norms of scholarly communication, the unique affordances of sound-based scholarship and the transformative potential of new modes of creating and reviewing expert knowledge, Podcast or Perish is the call to action academia needs, by asking how podcasting might change the very ways we think about scholarly work.(P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic reviews
This is a unique, innovative, and thorough treatment of the contested subject of peer review and nontraditional scholarly output. The authors deconstruct, critique, and reimagine peer review in general while examining the potential of (and in many cases actual instances of) podcasting peer review as a medium and as a meta forum for reimagining this process. This forward thinking, optimistic, and solution-oriented volume presents a solid case for legitimizing podcasts as scholarly output. As a reader, one feels to be in the room with these authors, as they would want us to – that is, in fact, their central point.
Provocative, playful and pointed in its analysis of the production and evaluation of scholarly knowledge, this book is informed by a deep understanding of podcasting and the audio medium. It illuminates how podcasting, with its focus on voice, conversation and participation, can greatly advance the accessibility of scholarly knowledge. The book will help academics frustrated by the limitations of print-based peer review understand – and experiment with - the alluring power of podcasting in teaching, learning and research contexts.
Podcast or Perish succinctly and clearly highlights the possibilities that scholarly podcasting offers researchers and learners of all kinds. This timely book is uniquely suited to our present moment of rapid change and uncertainty in higher education. Academics have the tools to revise (and resubmit) the standards of peer review and in this refreshing and engaging book the podcast is presented as a means for not only rethinking our work, but also for carving out an auditory space for scholarly discourse in an era of transformation.
Podcast or Perish: Peer Review and Knowledge Creation for the 21st Century by authors Lori Beckstead, Ian Cook, and Hannah McGregor is an enjoyable, slightly rebellious read going straight for the fleshy throat of traditional academia—lovingly, of course, and with the best of intentions.
