We’re back from the spring semester and talking about graduation and protest, balancing SCMS leadership and research, and a digital research project in transnational streaming radio for your summer listening. We discuss the recent Notre Dame student walkout before presenting an interview with Steven Cohan on his article in the latest issue of Cinema Journal on Danny Kaye, Cohan’s role as SCMS president, and the current functioning of the conference. Then we talk with Alec Badenoch on the web project Radio Garden (radio.garden) and its impact in radio studies and wide usage by listeners.
