EPOD BOOK SERIES
The EPOD Book Series cements a partnership between Routledge, Morley College London, the University of Staffordshire, the University of Leeds and the University of South Florida. The first book in the series is due to be published at the end of July 2025. Academics, researchers and practitioners submitted paper abstracts on research and experience of teaching and learning through podcasts at the second EPOD conference, which took place in June 2025. Authors are writing chapters to be submitted for peer review and inclusion in the second EPOD book, which will be published by Routledge in 2026.
If you would like to get involved, contribute a future paper abstract or be part of the peer review committee, please get in touch: epod@morleycollege.ac.uk
EPOD's first conference in 2024, led to the first book, Podcasting & Education: Concepts, Communities & Case Studies. It is due to be published later this year by Routledge, and includes the work of 30 contributors. The publishing date is the end of July 2025.
EPOD's second conference in 2025, will lead to the second book, 'Between entertainment and education: balancing media industry expectations within educational contexts.' Chapters will be submitted for peer review in the Autumn of 2025. The publishing date is expected to be summer 2026.
