Reviews

Spinelli and Dann debunk the idea that podcasting is an egalitarian mode of delivery of audio media, freed from gatekeepers and empowering to the independent producers and usefully remind us that, as often happened in the past history of the media, podcasting ecosystem is intertwined into much larger media, social and economic systems and is being increasingly dominated by new and old media behemoths. With this book, the authors clearly identify the unique qualities of contemporary podcasting and sketch a thought-provoking portrait of this emerging digital medium. * Tiziano Bonini, Assistant Professor in Media Studies, University of Siena, Italy *
