In this episode, host Garret Castleberry offers insight into the organic growth of Special Topics in Media. He outlines how summer 2023 presented a space to diversify lecturecast programming from a single topic to an overlapping trio of distinguishable threads. This includes a quick contextualization for how these topics resonate in distinct ways. Garret then lays out a five-point argument for how this multithreading strategy supports media convergence and academic spreadability. The episode closes with a demonstration of how this approach supports a broader programming and teaching strategies. Garret then concludes with a preview of potential themes on deck for future discussion.
