What are your favorite podcasts and who are your favorite podcasters? How do you share these with others? Finding, sharing, and filtering high quality podcasts is a valuable activity, especially when we engage in this process with others who share common interests like “media literacy.” But it can also be inspiring and invigorating to share favorite podcasts about our personal hobbies and niche interests. Start the 2025-26 academic year with the MediaEd Club of the Media Education Lab by sharing some of your favorite podcasts, podcast episodes, and ‘trusted voices’ on social media. Note this meeting will NOT be on the first Monday of September because of the Labor Day holiday in the United States, we will meet on September 8, 2025.
Date: Monday, September 8, 2025
Time: 12 pm EST | 6 pm CET | 10:30 pm IST
