BELTRAN NIEVES, Fernando  and  PAEZ DIAZ DE LEON, Laura. Podcasting, Conceptual Essay of a Design. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2022, vol.37, n.106, pp.227-260.  Epub Sep 01, 2023. ISSN 2007-8358.

A sociological approach to podcasting as a multidimensional contemporary concept. The podcast in its form, interactively links design, collaboration and creativity in the creation of the so-called cultural content. Overall, this article presents five conceptual hypotheses concerning the most plausible ideas in understanding what kind of creature the podcast is. The first hypothesis is a sociological interpretation of the “new media”. For the second hypothesis, we attempt to trace the interpretation techniques so far prevalent of podcasting. The third hypothesis delves on the execution methods. The fourth one posits the intellectual uses and its political dimensions. Finally, we pose questions relatively different to the immediate past: what is the relationship between the “new media” and social research? Concluding with a final question: How does the podcast helps us to envision our modern world?.
