Abstract

Mobile applications for downloading podcasts to smartphones and tablets, or podcatcher apps, are some of the most plentiful in various digital software application stores (app stores). The software features, interfaces, and options podcatchers make available give digital soundworks new functionality, materiality, visuality, and aurality. By collecting and analyzing some of the most popular podcasting applications, this article surveys the affordances and restrictions promoted by podcatching app interfaces. Our research explores how podcast apps promote new instances of listening, arguing that podcatchers reconfigure relationships between listeners and producers, and are also ultimately people-catchers that attempt to aggregate listeners in a fragmented media environment by increasing sonic interactivity, encouraging ubiquitous listening, curating and packaging podcasts as visual media, and emphasizing social features that allow users to share podcasts with each other.

播客及其应用:软件、声音和数字音频接口

用于将播客下载到智能手机和平板电脑的移动应用程序，或podcatcher应用程序，是各种数字软件应用程序商店(app store)中最丰富的应用程序之一。软件功能、界面和podcatcher提供的选项为数字声音作品提供了新的功能、物质性、可视性和听觉性。通过收集和分析一些最流行的播客应用程序，本文调查了播客应用程序接口带来的功能和限制。我们的研究探讨了播客应用程序如何促进新的收听实例，认为播客捕获器重新配置听众和制作人之间的关系，并且最终也是人捕获器，通过增加声音互动性，鼓励无处不在的收听，策划和包装播客作为视觉媒体，并强调允许用户相互分享播客的社交功能，试图在碎片化的媒体环境中聚集听众。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
