Pedagogy, Podcasts, and Politics: What Role Does Podcasting Have in Planning Education?

Abstract

This paper systematically reviews the use of podcasts in planning education. Podcasting is part of a broader expansion and diversification of digital technology in education, responding to its use in teaching approaches and research dissemination. The ability to gather and share information across time and space, alongside emphases on dialogue, participation, and voice, also means that podcasts may hold emancipatory potential. This systematic review highlights how podcasts may support active learning among students and create dialogues between students and communities under-represented in mainstream debate, and the extent to which they may enhance strategies of blended and active learning in planning curricula.
