ABSTRACT Podcasts cover a wide range of topics and genres that can be created and developed for diverse and niche audiences. Using an inductive approach, we explore the connections and insights the podcast Anything for Selena offers about parasociality, celebrity grieving, and diasporic Latina/o/x identity, in the context of Selena as a brand. Themes follow acts of performing culture, posthumous branding, aspirational identity, and parasocial grieving across traditional and new digital media. A focus on multilingual and multicultural Latina/o/x identity revealed narrative nuances specific to the target audience. Selena’s crossover appeal, augmented by engaged niche groups in podcast communities, remains relevant for the 2020s and beyond.
播客涵盖了广泛的主题和类型,可以为不同的利基受众创建和开发。运用归纳的方法,我们在赛琳娜作为一个品牌的背景下,探索播客Anything for Selena提供的关于副社会性、名人悲伤和散居的拉丁/o/x身份的联系和见解。主题遵循表演文化,死后品牌,理想的身份,以及跨传统和新数字媒体的准社会悲伤行为。对多语言和多元文化的拉丁/o/x身份的关注揭示了目标受众特有的叙事细微差别。赛琳娜的跨界魅力,再加上播客社区中活跃的小众群体,在21世纪20年代及以后仍然具有重要意义。

ABSTRACT Group membership under a shared identity marker has intragroup diversity, or ”heterogeneous commonality.” Thus, self-representations within identity groups can elicit different perspectives about, or approaches to, the same topics. This article textually analyzes episodes from Black Canadian Content Creators, My Blackness, My Truth, and Seat at the Table about Black creative collaboration and social justice to assess how podcasts function as heterogeneously common publics foregrounding podcaster identities to approach the same topics. This article also analyzes each podcast’s online presence for inviting audiences to participate as part of these publics.

Research in the areas of audio and radio is as dynamic as ever, and we’re excited to continue to receive and publish new and relevant studies from scholars uncovering new information about radio, podcasting and other forms of audio communication, allowing the Journal of Radio and Audio Media (JRAM) to be a premiere international publisher of radio and audio research. We’re also excited to announce that we are beginning a process in this issue of the journal of ‘catching up’ on articles recently published online with which we were a bit behind in getting into a print edition. As you may know, we focus on publishing articles connected to symposium issues in print at the same time they are available online, but for regular articles, we usually publish online first. With so much good research being submitted to JRAM, that procedure has given authors a bit longer than we wanted before the article went into a print edition. With this and upcoming issues, we will work to remedy this situation. The silver lining benefit for the reader is a bigger article count in this outstanding issue, including some podcastrelated studies, some insights into college radio and a continued number of international studies. We start this issue with Joshua M. Bentley’s Analysis of Public Radio Fundraising (Bentley, 2022). It is likely that many professors who read JRAM also work in an academic environment where a public radio station is operated, making this study relevant and useful in multiple ways. Bentley’s study focuses on reasons for listener financial support and finds that the dominant appeal for supporting the station was self-interest. Hirschmeier, Beule, and Tilly (2022) follow with an intriguing analysis of streamed radio content designed to identify sequences using pattern mining techniques. How people listen to ‘radio’ has changed from a completely linear process to now a mostly nonlinear process. As this research points out, however, this new model has not solved broadcasters’ problem of effectively matching content delivery style with audience reception preferences in a manner that keeps them engaged and makes the experience interactive. This study recognizes how current process changes are placing innovation pressure on radio broadcasters. Mary E. Myers provides a historical accounting of Dr. Clarence M.

eration within the community-owned, volunteer-run stations. Yet, this inevitably results in conflict arising during egalitarian decision-making. Although within this cycle, both community and personal transformation occurs through the stations’ affordance of communicative agency. Partly through communicative agency, marginalized people and their concerns are given a powerful media outlet—one that is not commercial or public—for self-representation and reality (re)construction, subsequently supporting counter-hegemonic perspectives on social and political economic issues. Fox concludes by confirming how a community radio setting—with its principles of community ownership, content control, and self-determination; financial independence; and voice as agency —can facilitate a non-commodified, participatory, and political “regenerative voice” (p. 191) to further communicative democracy. As a result, Fox makes apparent how community radio can contribute to a more equitable, vibrant tapestry of voices. Community radio’s amplification of communication for social change therefore brings us closer to understanding how community radio may hold the potential to resist global and digital capitalist systems that have emerged with the proliferation of neoliberal ideology, in an effort to solidify the status of communication as a societal good.

Community radio’s capacity for mobilizing communication by providing voices that otherwise go unheard with an alternative outlet to commercial mass media has been explored in several texts, including William Barlow’s “Community radio in the US: The struggle for a democratic medium” (1988), Charles Fairchild’s Community radio and public culture: Being an examination of media access and equity in the nations of North America (Hampton Press, 2001), Colin Fraser and Sonia Restrepo-Estrada’s “Community radio for change and development” (2002), Susan Forde, Kerrie Foxwell, and Michael Meadows’ “Creating a community public sphere: Community radio as a cultural resource” (2002), Nick Couldry and Tanja Dreher’s “Globalization and the public sphere: Exploring the space of community media in Sydney” (2007), Janey Gordon’s Community radio in the twenty first century (Peter Lang, 2012), and Anne F. MacLennan’s “Cultural imperialism of the North? The expansion of the CBC Northern Service and community radio” (2011). Juliet Fox’s Community radio’s amplification of communication for social change (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019) raises similar themes, although diverges in its deep-dive into community radio using a critical Communication for Social Change (CfSC) framework, which promotes media democratization through community ownership, community knowledge promotion and dissemination, and community empowerment. Fox draws attention to the need to democratize media and communications in an era of neoliberalism, wherein ICTs are growing increasingly commodified in the pursuit of profit at the heart of global capitalism. Without claiming community radio is a technological panacea to the fractured relationship between democracy and neoliberal capitalism, Fox incisively argues that community radio, in the context of CfSC, is an influential, ubiquitous tool that affords unheard voices a chance to critically participate in the democratic process, at the local and national scale, enriching public debate and discussion. Furthermore, community radio can challenge neoliberal capitalist ideologies, irrespective of social and political variations from community to community. Hence, Fox asserts that community radio holds the potential to transform social and political knowledge and information through the utilization of voice as a manifestation of citizen-centered self-determination and agency. To evaluate how community radio amplifies economically, politically, and/or socially marginalized voices, consequently facilitating voice as a vessel for democratic power, Fox examines two community radio stations: 3CR Community JOURNAL OF RADIO & AUDIO MEDIA 2022, VOL. 29, NO. 2, 489–495

ABSTRACT
This paper examines the radio drama Danger (1924) by Richard Hughes. Danger, which is known as the world’s first radio drama, was broadcast by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) in January 1924. The play’s importance is not limited to its pioneering role in creating the genre of radio drama. Danger is set in a Welsh coal mine, a backdrop that invokes the social issues engaging Britain in the 1920s. By pursuing these issues, I would like to examine this work’s mission as a public medium that appeals to the masses, as well as its innovation in drama broadcasting.
