The Hub for Innovation in Podcasting (HIP) connects people who make (or want to make) engaging podcasts with professional podcast producers and storytellers, craft and industry analysts and those who use podcasts as an educational tool.

The HIP provides a vibrant space where scholars, fans, producers and aspiring podcasters can share research and practical insight, listen to world’s best productions, and develop the emerging field of podcast studies. We will facilitate collaborations (research and practice-based), offer talks, teaching and training courses and help advance podcasting as an exciting new medium and industry.

At the HIP we are interested in everything from the ubiquitous chatcast to interview formats, crafted fiction and non-fiction, news digests, monologues, educational modules and mash-ups of all kinds. We want to work with you on developing your podcast ideas, investigating forms, formats and audiences, and understanding the many applications of podcasting. HIP members are also researching the emerging podcast industry, especially in the Asian region. Follow us on Twitter and join the Podcast Studies network too @podcaststudies.
