Gestão da informação e etnografia na podosfera: bases para a transição de um podcast acadêmico

Abstract

This article examines the transition of an academic podcast managed by librarians from 2019 to 2023, spanning five seasons of production. As a theoretical foundation, it presents 10 theses published in Brazil, demonstrating the relatively recent development of podcast-related studies. The research method applied was podcast ethnography, utilizing the EEE triangulation – Explore, Engage, and Examine – to analyze and evaluate the content produced for an academic podcast well-established on podosphere. Through this method, the five podcast seasons were successfully analyzed, alongside the proposal of 10 phases that facilitated its transition. This transition was prompted by a migration from the hosting platform PodCloud to Podcastics, as well as a title update for the podcast in 2023. In conclusion, the study highlights that the podosphere can be likened to a rapidly growing digital audio library, offering significant potential for research on information management within this space.
