In Conversation with Dr. Ian Cook: publishing, podcasting, and bean counting

Recently, I was invited to chat about podcasting with Dr. Ian Cook. Ian is a research fellow at Central European University in Budapest, Hungary. He’s a sociologist and anthropologist and is currently writing a book exploring the intersection of podcasting and knowledge creation, among other things. So we connected to chat a bit about my experiments with open peer review podcasting. It was a really fun conversation. And while it was meant to be for Ian’s research, it struck me that our conversation might also be useful to share here to shed more light on the open peer review podcast concept. So with Ian’s permission, here’s our conversation.
