Abstract

Podcasts and popular music are different kinds of sonic media, but they are increasingly in direct competition for our listening time within the ‘audio market’. Audio platforms like Spotify, Apple and Google host both podcasts and music (and other audio media) so their distribution decisions and infrastructure have a significant impact on musicians, podcasters, record labels, podcast networks and other industrial entities. Despite this convergence, podcasting studies and popular music studies have not regularly been put in conversation; podcast studies has drawn primarily on radio studies, and overlap between this work and popular music studies has to date been minimal. Our introduction to this Special Issue on popular music and podcasts suggests that framing music and podcasts as ‘competing sounds’ permits new contributions to several important areas of media study, including platformization, creative labour, media representation and the role of sonic media in everyday life.

竞争的声音吗?播客和流行音乐

播客和流行音乐是不同类型的声音媒体，但它们在“音频市场”中对我们的收听时间的直接竞争日益激烈。像Spotify、苹果和谷歌这样的音频平台同时托管播客和音乐(以及其他音频媒体)，因此它们的分销决策和基础设施对音乐家、播客、唱片公司、播客网络和其他工业实体具有重大影响。尽管有这种融合，播客研究和流行音乐研究并没有经常被放在对话中;播客研究主要是在广播研究的基础上进行的，到目前为止，这项工作与流行音乐研究之间的重叠很少。我们对本期流行音乐和播客特刊的介绍表明，将音乐和播客作为“竞争的声音”，可以为媒体研究的几个重要领域做出新的贡献，包括平台化、创造性劳动、媒体代表和声音媒体在日常生活中的作用。

期刊介绍： Radio Journal publishes critical analyses of radio and sound media across a variety of platforms, from broadcast to podcast and all in between. Articles focus on both historical and contemporary issues in sound-based journalism and media studies. We look for work that explores the production, circulation and reception of radio and creative soundwork, and encourage a wide range of international and interdisciplinary perspectives. Radio Journal welcomes scholarship from early career researchers as well as internationally renowned scholars. It also publishes reviews of recent publications in the field of radio and sound studies. Radio Journal is edited from the US and Australia and has an international scope. It is a refereed publication; all research articles undergo rigorous double-blind peer review. The editors will review other contributions. The process normally takes three months to complete.
