WHAT IS THE EPOD CONFERENCE?
The Education through Podcasting (EPOD) conference aims to bring together academics, researchers and practitioners to share research and experiences of teaching, learning and training through podcasts. Morley College London, the University of Staffordshire, Leeds University, and the University of South Florida jointly organise this initiative.
Watch this space for details about the third annual conference, which is due to be held in Leeds in June 2026 (dates to be confirmed).
Listen to The Radio Academy's great podcast to find out more about the second annual conference, which took place at Morley College London 26-27 June, 2025. The focus was: Between entertainment and education - balancing media industry expectations within educational contexts.
Audio UK, Broadcast Radio, Morley Radio, Routledge and The Radio Academy proudly sponsor EPOD.
Our Sponsor a Seat initiative enables organisations or individuals to sponsor people at EPOD conferences by covering the registration costs for each seat, which is currently £105. The initiative aims to encourage attendees who may not otherwise be able to participate, such as students, early-career professionals, or underrepresented groups. Sponsorship will be mentioned in promotional materials and can be arranged through the conference organisers. This initiative enhances inclusivity, broadens audience diversity, and aligns sponsors with meaningful industry contributions.
EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY
All involved in the organisation of EPOD are committed to encouraging fairness, equality and diversity throughout our event, in terms of the organisational structure, the invited participants and in the encouragement of presenters and paper authors. We welcome anyone interested in the conference themes to engage with us and join us in building a sustainable conference that can represent all education through podcasting related interests.
