Serendipitously, the June 2006 issue of the Scientist focuses on science
podcasts (http://www.the-scientist.com/). It includes a recommended list
of
links to radio shows, magazines, journals and TV that include science
podcasts.
Also, I've just come across the following:
Chillingworth, M. All the science you ever wanted - in a pod.
Information
World Review, April 2006 p.31 [It's a short evaluation of the podcasts
by
Nature and New Scientist]
Lastly, a quick search on psci-comlit
(http://psci-com.ac.uk/pscicomlit/)
retrieved the following:
Merzagora, M. Science on air : the role of radio in science
communication.
JCOM [Journal of Science Communication] Vol.3, No.4, 2004
This paper presents the results of an international symposium called
"Science on air : the role of radio in science communication". The
symposium
was the first time science radio journalists, researchers and media
experts
from sixteen countries came together to discuss the role of radio in
science
communication. A new European project called SCIRAB (Science in Radio
Broadcasting) is investigating the impact of radio on science
communication
and this programme was discussed. The last part of the article
introduces
four further papers that were delivered at the symposium and can be read
as
PDF documents. Their subject matters covers: the current state of
research
on radio, the connection between theoretical science communication and
practical journalism, and a description of what it is like to work as a
science journalist in the Britain.

Russell, R. L. Science radio. Informal Learning Review, The No.72, May -
June 2005 pp.19-22
An article exploring the reasons why radio provides an effective means
for
reaching all segments of society and why it has been neglected as a tool
for
communicating scientific issues. The analysis concentrates on the radio
formats and audiences found in the United States as well as reviewing
the
current radio programmes that focus on science. In the U.S., commercial
radio has the largest quota of listeners where air time equates to money
and
media conglomerates own many commercial stations. Faced with these
factors,
science producers have a hard time securing air time for science
programmes.
However, radio offers economies of scale that should be leveraged
through
links with other science education projects.
Hope this helps

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Podcasting and science radio academic resources
Hello,
A shameless plea for help here.
I'm writing a dissertation on science radio and podcasting and need some
good palces to start looking for references. Can anyone suggest any
papers about the impact and effectiveness of science radio (or even
podcasting, though I think I may be a bit quick off the mark)? Or good
contacts for people to speak to who are involved in science
radio/podcasting who might have information, or who are studying it
academically. I'm already on the Naked scientists team, so I know about
us!
Thanks for any help you can give me,
Cheers,
Kat
