Copyright Waffle Episode 23 with Emily Drabinski

Podcasting eats itself this episode, as we are joined by guests Jane Secker & Chris Morrison (Copyright Waffle) and Mark Childs (one half of Pedagodzilla, with Mike Collins). Recorded in front of a live audience at LILAC 2023, the conversation covers all things podcasting and information literacy! We chat to our guests about how to get started casting the pods, and how the format works as a teaching tool. Meanwhile, the delegates and attendees at the conference share some of their IL tips and experiences!

Episode 3: #LILAC23 (with Copyright Waffle and Pedagodzilla)

In this episode, Corin Peacock (Arts University Bournemouth) tells Ella Wharton about self-tracking as a form of Information Literacy within the LGBTQ+ community. The conversation, arising from Corin's research at Sheffield, covers the use (and implications) of self-tracking apps in the context of wellbeing challenges and the rise of anti-trans rhetoric. Corin also recalls their experience of working on the project as a new professional, whilst diversions include the correct quantity of memes for a professional presentation and the state of trans healthcare in the UK.

Episode 4: Identity and Self-Tracking (with Corin Peacock)

In this episode our guest, Drew Whitworth (University of Manchester), chats to Josh Rodda about the remote island of Saint Helena. Perhaps best known as the venue for Napoleon's exile, Saint Helena has a deeper history of commercial governance and scientific research, and the arrival of high-speed internet is about to have lasting effects on its consumption and production of information. Drew has been conducting research into the island's current information literacy practices, and into the inhabitants' preparations (and expectations) for the coming acceleration of communications technology.

Episode 5: Broadband on Saint Helena (with Drew Whitworth)

Jane and Chris talk to Richard Ovenden OBE: Bodley's 25th librarian (and Chris's ultimate boss) about leading one of the world's greatest research libraries, his best selling book 'Burning the Books' and the copyright implications of preserving knowledge in the 21st century.

In this episode, Tom Peach (York St John University) shares his experience of stepping into a management role as a new professional, and chats to Bethan Morgan about the challenges, opportunities, and new perspectives that managing library staff can bring.
