Hi Colin
Just to let you know the book recommended below "Investigating science communication in the information age" and its partner book "Practicing science communication in the information age" are both at the Wellcome Library, or in Alice's office if you ask nicely.
Hope it's going well,
Katie Goates

>
> Hello Psci-commers,
>
> I am researching a lengthy work on the use of audio in science communication. There are the obvious outlets such as radio programmes and podcasts, as well as the ever-growing Audioboo format.
>
> However, I was curious to pick the community's brains about wider and perhaps more innovative uses of audio in science communication. Maybe you know of podcasts being used in a novel way such as here, or you use live audio to engage with your visitors at a science centre/museum?
>
> If you have any thoughts/ideas/examples of good (or bad!) uses of audio for science communication I'd love to hear from you. I'm particularly interested in non-conventional uses of the medium as I mostly have the standard mainstream radio and podcast angles covered (eg Radio 4/World Service/Guardian/Naked Scientists/Jodcast etc)
>
> I look forward to hearing from you
