Podcast Ethnography
Lundström, Markus; Lundström, Tomas Poletti
International Journal of Social Research Methodology, v24 n3 p289-299 2021
This article introduces the method of "podcast ethnography." The method encompasses three general stages: to "explore" a podcast from a particular social field, to "engage" with it through careful, ethnographic reflexivity and to "examine" the podcast by developing typologies and themes expedient for analysis. Podcast ethnography is beneficial due to its spatial and temporal flexibility; observing a podcast universe can be performed on the move and in parallel with other tasks. This advantage enables a much-needed breathing space for researchers inquiring vehement milieus, such as white radical nationalism. The article uses an example from this precise milieu in Sweden -- the podcast "Motgift" [Antidote] -- to illustrate and flesh out the potentials and challenges of applying the method's three stages. In so doing, the article argues for inclusion of podcast ethnography into the extended family of ethnographic methods.
