Tough Girl - Daily Podcast - SEASON 2

After working in finance for 8 years, I quit my city job and spent 18 months travelling the world, climbing Kilimanjaro, backpacking around South America and doing a ski season. I used this time to help me decide on what I wanted to do with my life. ​ I set up Tough Girl Challenges as a way of motivating and inspiring women and girls. I'm the host the Tough Girl Podcast where I interview inspirational female explorers, adventurers, athletes and everyday women who have overcome great challenges. I completed the Marathon des Sables in April 2016 and in 2017 I thru hiked the Appalachian Trail (2,190 miles) in 100 days! In 2018 I will be cycling the Pacific Coast Highway and the Baja Divide! This is my daily update of what I get up to! I want to share the journey, the high points the low points and what it takes to build a business while having fun and going on adventures! ******************************************* SEASON 2 I’ve been wanting to go back to the Tough Girl Daily Podcast for a while. But I’ve just had so much on, I needed to let it go while I focused on my Masters getting back to full strength after the Appalachian Trail and working on building up Tough Girl Challenges into a viable business which can support me. At the moment I do work part time jobs to enable to me to do what I do and I do live with my parents (who are beyond amazing and supportive) but I do need to make this work, I need to be able to earn a living. I feel there is an illusion about how easy it is to build a business, build a brand and being able to earn a living from it. It’s not - it’s hard work and I hope through this daily podcast you will be able to see what is going on behind the scenes. I will share the good bits and the bad bits, the high points, the low points.

16th Aug 2018 - I'm in an academic text about #podcasting!!! (So proud!!!) 0
Aug 17, 2018

So delighted to be able to add to the academic conversation about #podcasting. 

Thank you to Dario Llinares for taking the time to interview me for this academic book. 

Dario researches and teaches on the Digital Media and Film & Screen Studies programmes within media, focussing on digital culture and its effect on mediated identity and social practice. An academic, writer, cultural critic and podcaster, Dario has published on the astronaut in 20th century media and time travel cinema. He is the producer and co-host of the Cinematologists podcast (@thecinematologists). He is based at the University of Brighton’s Hastings Campus.

👉Podcasting new aural cultures and digital media. 

👉 Chapter 7 - Podcasting as Liminal Praxis: Aural Mediation, Sound Writing and Identity.

I share more about my thoughts on podcasting as a medium, the gender of podcasting, the link between sound and emotion and why I see podcasting as an opportunity especially for women. I’m really proud of being able to add my voice to this conversation.

About the Book 

 

Podcasting: New Aural Cultures and Digital Media is the first comprehensive interdisciplinary collection of academic research exploring the definition, status, practices and implications of podcasting through a Media and Cultural Studies lens. By bringing together research from experienced and early career academics alongside audio and creative practitioners, the chapters in this volume span a range of approaches in a timely reaction to podcasting’s zeitgeist moment.

 

In conceptualizing the podcast, the contributors examine its liminal status between the mechanics of ‘old’ and ‘new’ media and between differing production contexts, in addition to podcasting’s reliance on mainstream industrial structures whilst retaining an alternative, even outsider, sensibility. In the present tumult of online media discourse, the contributors frame podcasting as indicative of a ‘new aural culture’ emerging from an identifiable set of industrial, technological and cultural circumstances. The analyses in this collection offer a range of interpretations which begin to open avenues for further research into a distinct Podcast Studies.
