November 26, 2024: Podcast Thanks: Supportive Peers

[The most significant part of my work this fall was the launch of my first public scholarly podcast, The Celestials’ Last Game: Baseball, Bigotry, and the Battle for America. A lot of factors helped make that work possible, so for my annual Thanksgiving series I wanted to express my gratitude to a handful of them!]

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’ve had the chance to appear on quite a few podcasts over the last few years, including the ones highlighted in this list among others. That meant I had a ton of great models for how to make the most of the medium, which was one vital way that my peer podcasters helped me immeasurably in creating my own. But I also had the chance to talk about my podcast on a couple of those excellent examples of the genre: Liam Heffernan’s America: A History and Kelly Pollock’s Unsung History (my second time on that great podcast). Starting an entirely new type of project can be a very daunting endeavor, and I’m so grateful to have had such inspiring models and supportive peers at every step of the process.

Next thanks tomorrow,

Ben

PS. I’d be thankful if you’d check out the podcast and let me know your thoughts!
