The Storyology Podcast
The Storyology Podcast investigates what happens when science meets story. Hosted by materials scientist and storyteller Dr Anna Ploszajski, each episode tracks the effects, risks, limitations and opportunities of communicating science with story. The podcast gathers evidence from experts along the way, as we track the presence of story along the whole pipeline of how science gets communicated; from funding to publication to the media and the general public. If you want to understand how two of the strongest forces in society affect our everyday lives - from GP appointments to justice - this is the podcast for you. This podcast is made in partnership with the UK Reproducibility Network, Sonic Screen Lab at University of the Arts London and StoryArcs at Bath Spa University. StoryArcs is an Arts and Humanities Research Council funded programme.
