The sounds of motherhood: Mediating ‘motherwhelm’ in ZigZag
Applying the work of affect theorists and feminist scholars to sound studies, I suggest, permits scholars to appreciate podcasting’s representation of the gendered soundscape of maternity. In this article, I analyse several recent female-hosted, NPR-influenced podcasts that give voice to the complications and contradictions of working motherhood. The podcast ZigZag vividly depicts the emotional labour of entrepreneurship, of balancing working and mothering and of doing so in a neo-liberal feminist framework. Through an in-depth study of the audio work of Manoush Zomorodi and Jen Poyant in Note to Self and ZigZag (2018–present), I examine how these podcasts speak to contemporary challenges balancing creative media work, maternity and entrepreneurialism. Paying attention to the varied sounds of maternity offered by podcasts in this elite habitus vividly depicts the power of ‘motherwhelm’ in pandemic-era culture and complicates the community empowerment ethos assumed of podcasts.

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.
